I've been checking out getting a GPS, I have wanted one, but I'm useing this ride as an excuse to get one.. I'm having a hard time finding one that will track a new path and save it for a reasonable amount of money.
I have found that going cheap ends up costing more than buying the real deal. I would just get a lowrance. If I had 700 saved I woukd buy one.
True, and that will be the end game for me, but I was hoping to find one that would work for now, then I could stuff it in the glove box later next season when I get the lowrance
i use this simple set up, and it has got me back to camp and helped me get back to broke down riders quite a few times...paid $160 for GPS and mount...True, and that will be the end game for me, but I was hoping to find one that would work for now, then I could stuff it in the glove box later next season when I get the lowrance

I used it for the GPS in the pure 200 race last weekend. When I find a cool jump in Glamis I will pin point it. Records and follows tracks really good. Best $4 I have spent for the dezert. Made a mount for it on the oh shit bar for my co dog to use. Check it out.

I don't think so. I know out in Glamis I was only able to send 2-5 text depending we're I was. Didn't have good sev at all. But the GPS was on point with the tracking and following tracks
Been messing with this for about a hr. it's really cool. Easy to use and is only .99 now! Good find!
Also one of our I t guys says he has an old lowrance 7 inch black and white that I could probably borrow for the ride. He said he wasnt sure if he has the antenna. Gotta go find out w when I get a chance.
Even though this is a nice simple setup, I think that I would rather save up to buy a lowrance xtr .i use this simple set up, and it has got me back to camp and helped me get back to broke down riders quite a few times...paid $160 for GPS and mount...
Lucky! I never get the deals lol. Yes I like it alot when I 1st got it I plate with it forever. Even drove around town recording tracks lol
yeah dont get me wrong the Lowrance is awesome...im just sayin this setup more then works for me...its done everything i need it to do, plus i can just pop it out of the holder and use it in other vehicles, including my desert bike, and my wife and I also use it on hikes...
