Hey everybody
I was hoping somebody could give me a recommendation for a GPS for my dad. A little background first...
First of all, he’s 64 year old guy that has very little experience with electronics/computers. He’s farmed his whole life and doesn’t have a lot of use for “gadgets.” He bought his first smart phone this year and has recently learned how to text message and can’t turn on a computer.
That being said it will need to be a fairly simple set up. He hikes a lot on known trails so he can play with it and become efficient but the easier the better.
He is going hunting with a family friend this fall in northern Maine and hopefully if the weather cooperates he will be able to track deer in the snow. This is where the need for the gps comes from. I envision something that he can mark a way point where he starts and follow the line back at the end of the day and hopefully mark another way point where his big buck is laying?
I personally don’t have one so I don’t know how to help. Garmin Inreach maybe?
I appreciate the insight.
