Looking for a GPS that I can use in my canoe, my side by side atv and as a nav system in my truck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the ipad have to have access to data to do all those things?

From what he told me, the only thing you need is to have the model that is cellphone enable...
No the compass is turn off-able by the user on all models, 60, 62. an 64. I never turn on the electronic compass on any GPS, I use a real compass, for direction finding, although while moving the GPS units all use point to point data to calculate the compass direction from movement. If the 62 and 64 keep the magnetic compass on internally anyway, regardless of user selected setting, that is news to me and poor power management.60csx is all I need. I suspect the electronic compass is always on with the newer models and draining the batteries. On the 60csx you can adjust when it takes over navigation.

Correct. Mine is always turned off. The electronic compass internal calculation via GPS signal becomes quite unreliable at very slow forward moving speed, which is why that option exists. When I need an accurate azimuth I use a real compass, which is always independent of forward motion.On the 60 I can set it to take over if my speed drops to under a speed I select for a selected amount of time.
