i'll read thru this forum but if anyone has any input/advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

i have an old magellan gps315 that frankly has gotten very little use other than playing around. my phone is a galaxy s6active.

planning on a first time elk hunt out west and figure a gps would come in handy.
once i pick a game mgmt unit and am actually out in the field hunting, it would be nice to be able to:
*see the boundaries of the unit to help ensure i stay in them
*see any private land boundaries to help ensure i stay out of them
*see any roads and trails in that unit
*input a course or landmarks from any online scouting i might do
*of course, mark my vehicle and hopeful elk kill so i could get back and forth
*what else am i missing?

so, what gps or phone should i get or use for the above, and what apps, programs, maps, etc do i need to get and from where to get them? thanks!!

I like the Onyx maps and recommend everyone attend a GPS course thru REI to learn how to use all the features.
