I own a slightly older version of this - no matter - the internal memory is plenty to include all of Quetico and the BWCA - for that matter much of North America. The reality is that in addition to buying this unit you'll need to buy and load both Quetico and BWCA map software from Garmin - the included base map is essentially useless. Note, after buying the separate software, no portages or campsites are indicated, so this acts in concert with your compass and paper map. (There are free 'overlays' that people have created that fill in this information) The upside? You know exactly where you are, how far you have traveled, honey holes can be marked with precision and I use the barometric pressure as a weather indicator. Garmin makes a slick handlebar holder that works perfectly mounted to a thwart.

I have had mine for 3 years now. It's the second GPS I have owned and I love it. The batteries last for 2 full days paddle.


I have a modified overlay file to show all the portages and campsites on top of Garmin's LakeMaster MN maps. The Map pack is $100. A bit pricey.


I also use this for GeoCaching and the accuracy is unbeatable.

This is my 3rd & by far the best GPS I have owned, I love the mapping & topo details on the color screen. I have had it now for 3 years & have no complaints. I have used it in some really thick woods in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska & South Dakota never lose signal.
