Need Help Selecting GPS Tracking Device

Fixin' to purchase my first GPS tracker. Any suggestions on which one to buy? Can I purchase a map card for my area... or how does that work? Is the map even necessary? Seems direction and distance should be about enough in familiar terrain.

Get a Garmin....220...320...Alpha.....either will be beneficial to you and more importantly your dawgs. Unless you are uncanny accurate in guessing distance or you live in an area without pavement.....the map card is a necessity.

Get a garmin, i dont see how we ever hunted without them.
If im correct i dont think the sportdog has a mapcard.
But just about any dealer will have the mapcards for the garmin.

If your planning on competition hunting get the 220 or the 320 because the others (sportdog and alpha) have shockers built in and not allowed to carry during the hunt.

Is there just one card for everywhere, or you have to have one specific to your location?
