The end of the year brings about many top lists, so why not a top Hunting GPS list. Hunters are using GPS units more and more these days for scouting, hunting, and animal recovery. Each hunter probably has his or her personal favorite but we found the following GPS units to be the most popular for hunting in 2008.

3. Garmin Rino 530HCX - Hunters love this model because it also has a radio in it. It reduces the amount of equipment you have to carry while hunting having your GPS and Radio in one. You can communicate with other FRS/GMRS radio users as well as see fellow "Rino" users in your hunting party using the pinpoint positioning feature. Its MicroSD card slot and great satellite reception capabilities also make this GPS unit popular among hunters.

2. Garmin eTrex Vista HCX - This is a favorite among hunters because of its compact size, color screen, excellent satellite reception, and MicroSD card slot.

1. Garmin GPSMap 60 CSX - This is by fair the most popular GPS unit used by hunters. Many hunters like the larger, color screen for view topo maps, the MicroSD card slot, and it's excellent satellite reception.

Hunters usually like a GPS that has a MicroSD card slot for additional memory, a color screen for easily viewing topo maps, and excellent satellite reception in heavy cover or deep canyons.
