Try BackCountry Navigator phone app. I like it better than any hand held GPS i have used. I havent touched my $200 garmin since I started using it a couple years ago. I think there is a 30 day trial version you can try before buying. There are a ton of features on it and its way easier to use. Just download your maps before heading out and you do not need any cell service it uses the phones gps.

Garmin 62S. Been using it for a few years and love it. Esp if you go where cell phones don't work.

I got the Garmin Rino 650. Text messaging between hunters. Location of hunters(with compatible unit), maps of public private lands, topo, NOAA weather radio, FRS/GMRS, altimeter. Awesome unit.

Garmin oregon 650t. Had mine 2 deer seasons now. Great reception & easy to use/figure out. I don't worry about getting lost at all as long as I have backup batteries. It helped me & my brother & dad figure out where to hang stands & kill deer last 2 years by marking all the sign I could on it & then pinpointing stand locations on its map b4 hanging them. Also helped on the drag back to the truck being easier using the topo map so didn't drag any of them uphill as bad as would have done if we went back to truck the same route we walked in on

Does the Garmin GPS work on water? I was thinking of getting one to use on my boat when I have trouble finding my way back to the ramp at night on some of our larger Florida lakes.

Yes it does. I have used mine for finding the campsite on the lake at night.
