[em]Michel, these Road units are more for use on marked roads or highways. It can get very confuse when you get off road. Although it does give you the coordinates wherever you can hit three satellites. Mine usually lock on to about 6-7 satellites. But, of course [font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"]if you are in a valley [/font]or underneath some structure, [font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"]you won't get any signal[/font].[/em][/p] [/p] Oh oh, most pictographs are in valleys in BC... Hum, I will have to study the issue more carefully before spending. Best thing for me would be to borrow one, or buy one and retrun it after a weekend trial if it doesn't do the job as Costco is good for return policy.[/p] Any model in costco you would recommend as I might try that for this weekend? Talking one for the car and portable for the hike in mountainous terrain? If such a thing doesn't exist, the portable part would be specification number one to get.[/p]
[/p]Michel, my brother got a handheld portable unit for this very reason. Its meant for hiking and camping with being under trees. Ill ask him later what one he got...
