[QUOTE="baz09, post: 653389, member: 21640"] Hi, What a timely article as it was suggested by a retired prospector that I should get a GPS for 40e permits in WA. I was planning on using a Sat phone as an emergency device ($16.50 per month plus out going calls and texts. Incoming calls and texts (to the sat ph) are free to the sender and receiver) so I just turn on the ph at an agreed time each night so the kids can contact us. I also have the Trilobyte app on our normal phone. The retired prospector said the GPS will make sure I say within the 40e permit area and it makes a good safety device. Would the Garmin etrex 10 or etrex 22 be a suitable device since I already have a sat phone and Trilobyte on another phone or should I look at the GPSMAP66i. Thanks Baz [/QUOTE]
