I have the 1050sw and love it. Doesnt go to the depths as the 1030 but I like the sliding protective sleeve.

The Garmin Rhino series are frickin awesome. All my buddies have them (and all have different models). They rock. Im getting one after the first of the year for sure. They even have an FRS radio built in. And you can see on the map screen where your buddies that also have a Rhino are at.

Pretty Rad.

Even though our normal fishing grounds aren't all that big, that's pretty damn cool.

Rusty its way cooler for hunting than fishing but on mothership trips and such its a big plus.

Not to mention if your calling in somebody on a bite all you have to do is tell them its good and they can find you on the gps

I bought an etrex legend from REI used it for several months for hiking biking kayaking but it had a weak antenna and would lose signal in any kind of tree cover and in heavy cloud cover. (they may have upgraded the antenna by now i dunno)

REI let me return it and upgrade no questions asked to an etrex legend HCX. I love it and would highly recommend it. I would also recommend REI as there return policy and service is awesome.
