Re: [Philmont]: GPS-value?

1. Trekking poles for anyone over 38 is almost mandatory, and everyone else does better with them too.
2. Lighter packs/tents/sleeping bags/stoves/raingear would be next choice.
3. A good digital camera.

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?
