Long story short, I decided to expand my innawoods activities into some mountains (Caucasus region, if anyone interested), but got slightly concerned about getting all that lost and shit, since the place is not well populated and I am not that good at map navigation.
So, I decided I should buy a gps navigator for myself. Right now I am considering getting one of those garmin gpsmap 64s, since they are the best price/quality combo from what I know right now, but those things are quite pricy (about 400 imperialist dollars a piece).
And that is the exact reason, I decided to ask my trusty /k/ommandos for some advice.

What GPS do you use for hiking navigation?

What GPS can you reccomend for it?

Is the one,which I have chosen, a good one?

GPS is a good investment, but your priority should be to learn compass/topo map navigation. That will serve you better in the long run, and if your GPS fails you have engrained skills to fall back on.

I still use my old e-trex from the early 2000's so I can't answer gear questions.

I use a map and compass if I go anywhere I'm not farmiliar with, google maps has a topography mode. Also this isn't weapons.

What's the difference between the Garmin 64, 64s, and 64st?
