love mine.. only problem is the range but we run quicktracks for backup. One time the garmin (with map) really helped out on catching a good boar. The track was real old and the dog was trailing for a good ways then losing it at a road. When the dog got to the road he would lose the track and come back to us and start over. After the 3rd time watching him turn at the road on the garmin screen we decided to give the dog some help. We drove to the spot on the road where the dog was tracking to and got him on the other side. There was the track, and the dog set off on it again.. Well, same thing again, he would trail to a large creek then follow down creek and end back with us at the road re-running the track. So.. off we go to the spot where the dog was losing it at the creek. The boar had made several loops in there the night before and had trails all over the place. But by looking at the garmin, the dog hadn't been on the opposite side of the creek. We'll we crossed the creek and there was one set of tracks leaving out.. Got the dog across and on the tracks and, well... 30 min. later had a nice boar hog caught. If not for the garmin, we wouldn't have been able to help the dog out in spots he was loosing the track at. Definately worth the money...
