[Philmont]: GPS

I'll be coming to Philmont for the first time this summer as part of my
Council contingent. I feel really lucky because my Council truly helps you
to prepare. At one of our Adviser briefings, I was surprised that they were
very progressive and recommended having at least 1 GPS on each crew; sort of
the wave of the future.

 As a direct result of my Council's terrific presentation on the GPS, I
decided to make the plunge and purchase one. It took me a while to find,
not only the model that best suits me, but also the right dealer. Most
discount, online dealers, are very happy to sell you the unit a reasonable
price, but their support afterwards is very lacking.

I have found a distributor who is really great. AdventureStation.com, out
of Nevada. They spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with me
answering all sorts of questions. They don't just sell the units; they know
their stuff. Their prices also seemed to be among the lowest. They were
very responsive to me as a Boy Scout.

I have no relationship or affiliation with this dealer.
