Garmin 60cxs I think I have to look, I have had one since 2005 and love it until I flipped my qaud and smashed it so I bought another and it was even better then the last one and soooo much easier for the mapping they chipped it. I carry it with me everywhere hunting. It's not too expensive and rugged as hell. theres a rhino version with a radio but the radio is not the best one. The good thing about it is you can instantly send your location to you partner on another rhino. I don't have the rhino though we just use Costco radios. I don't know what else is out there as I have never had a need to look for another. Theres options to mount to atv and truck super easy and so fast if you have to detach from bike or truck and cigarette lighter if you have to jet quik for any reason. I combine this with laminated printed map book pages of the area I'm hunting and I can locate lakes roads really anything far more easy with both The screen is big enough but small at the same time. Battery's die quick but plug it to any lighter it switches automatically. It runs off 2 AA so we buy a Costco pack to toss in the trailer. I have one and my bro has one. It has saved me a few nights alone in the bush waiting for daylight or help to come into radio contact from not realizing how far you went while on the chase.
