Re: [Philmont]: GPS

I would recommend the trekking poles over the GPS from my expereince. I have been to Philmont three times and have used my trekking poles all three times, but I have never taken a GPS.

  Hi:

  Costco has Magellan GPS units for $198. Is this a good investment for Philmont? Or should I instead spend the money as a down payment on trekking poles for two Scouts and one adult? The Scouts enjoy using the GPS in a real-life situation. Seems like a good teaching opportunity.

  Best regards for 2004
