So Im thinking of getting a Garmin Oregon 600 series for use during multiday trips.
Reasons for the purchase include:
Backtracking in case I get lost or am uncertain of the direction or trail I should be using.
I would also love to see the data of what I have done that day.
The ability to use others tracks seems like a fun idea.
Questions I have:
if I get the base 600 do I have to purchase the topo maps from garmin? are there free maps that are just as good or the same? (like from GPSfiledepot)
do topo maps actually have trails marked on them? Or is that hit or miss or not all?
