TranslationI think we can get by with the 65S as a handheld, but I'd rather just get a 67 and be done with it. I can't find a 66SR used anywhere other than Amazon (for a lot of money) so I'm debating.
I keep reading on the web, that many of the folks that use GPS for hiking really don't think the Outdoor+ subscription is worth it. I'd like to hear other opinions.

Re: New GPSr Recommendations
Thanks for input folks, we've decided to go with a Tread for our vehicles, and a 67 for our hiking and exploring/prospecting trips. Both will be here Wednesday. Figured buy once, cry once.
Now I'm going to need to learn how to scan old maps and figure out how to layer them. We have several 1860's-1890's era reprints we picked up last year that I'd like to get on a GPS so we can find some of the stage stops my wife loves to hunt for.
We can always take them with us, but if we can get make them line up with coordinates and put them in the GPS, that would really help us pinpoint.
