singingdog Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 i am not familiar with the oregon Cliff but in my experience, i've yet to see a gps that is great at both providing hydro/topo info for fishing/hunting and for in-car driving use. keep them separated. they are two completely different uses and compromising to do both will likely leave you short changing one or the other. just my opinion i have two units, an etrex legend that i use in the boat/outdoors and a garmin nuvi for in the car. also, i dont think the "pay more now so you dont have to worry about it for a few years" type of thinking applies to gps units. they all work the same, more expesnive units just have a few extra frills or larger/colour screens. I agree with you about car/handheld units. There is a difference in some higher-end handhelds in terms of sensitivity, and the ability to pick up reflected and distorted signals. Something like the 60cx will get a good signal in places that cheaper units may not. Not an issue on the water, but great in terrain or thick trees.
