Best Handheld GPS for Waterfowl Hunting

Recommended Posts

<p>Whether you hunt waterfowl by from a boat or blind, or simply go pond hopping, chances are that when youâre heading to your coveted spot, youâll be covering a lot of land (or water) under the cover of darkness. A handheld GPS should not be considered a luxury item for the avid waterfowl hunter, but rather a necessity. Here are a few of our favorite GPS units for our trips to the duck blind and our reasons why.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/handheld/rino-650t/prod521048.html" target="_blank">Rino 650t</a></strong></span></p>

<p><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c7ef4803970b-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Rino Camo 1" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c7ef4803970b img-responsive" src="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c7ef4803970b-600wi" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Rino Camo 1" /></a></p>

<p>The Rino 650t handheld is a great unit for hunting on or near water, due to the peace of mind it gives you and your hunting party. Pair multiple units together and communicate via its built-in radio, and also have the ability to see their position in case you get separated. Other features include preloaded TOPO U.S. 100K maps, a high-sensitivity antenna for precise GPS locations, IPX7 waterproof rating (incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes), and a built-in NOAA radio for severe weather alerts. Be sure to check your stateâs hunting regulations to determine whether the use of two-way communication devices is permissible.</p>

<p><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c7ef4812970b-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="GPSMAP 78sc" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c7ef4812970b img-responsive" height="449" src="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201b7c7ef4812970b-600wi" style="width: 347px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="GPSMAP 78sc" /></a></p>

<p>For those of you who hunt the coastal marshes, the GPSMAP 78sc is the perfect unit for you. It is IPX7 waterproof rated, and best of all it floats! It has preloaded U.S. coastal charts, and the ability to add more detailed maps if desired.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-trail/gpsmap-64st/prod140024.html" target="_blank">GPSMAP 64st</a></strong></span></p>

<p><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201bb08936cfc970d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="010314_ROD_6581" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451bb7069e201bb08936cfc970d img-responsive" src="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201bb08936cfc970d-600wi" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="010314_ROD_6581" /></a></p>

<p>The GPSMAP 64st is an awesome all-around unit that includes preloaded TOPO 100K maps, a GPS and GLONASS receiver with a quad helix antenna for superior reception, and gives you the ability to add Bluechart g2 or LakeVü HD mapping. Itâs also IPX7 waterproof rated in case you accidentally drop it in the water, however we do recommend that you use the included carabiner clip when not in use. </p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-trail/wrist-worn/epix-/prod146065.html" target="_blank">Epix</a></strong></span></p>

<p><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201b8d1790df5970c-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Epix Camo fb" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451bb7069e201b8d1790df5970c img-responsive" src="http://garmin.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451bb7069e201b8d1790df5970c-600wi" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Epix Camo fb" /></a></p>

<p>While itâs not a handheld, do check out the epix for rugged, wrist-based navigation and detailed TOPO 100K mapping. You donât have to worry about getting it wet or in the way, and best of all, it functions as an everyday smartwatch and activity tracker. </p>
