I'm sure this sounds like a simple subject but I have no experience with them. Here in the middle of Texas I can typically get GPS coverage on my smart phone and have played around with the onX Hunt app recently. However, I'm heading to Southeast Alaska in August, and I hope to make "get the heck out of civilization" hunts an annual thing. Having said all of that, I'm looking to get an actual GPS device and start gaining experience with it this spring and summer while hiking with the family, and I don't know where to start.
So, what makes one GPS device better than another? I'd like to have capability to use the onX maps, but beyond that, are there any particular features that stand out, or anything vital to backcountry hunting that I need to pay attention to before I purchase one?
