in a comparison between garmin and magellan at one group outing, i have to admit that the magellans were better that day. but on other days, the garmin comes out ahead. and under heavy tree cover, none of them are very good.[/B]
never had any problems with our meridian golds under heavy tree cover, though my brother has a sportrak map and it would loose signal when ours would not. the only thing that gets our GPS to get a poor signal is tree cover in combo with hills(deep vallys) I have heard that the quad helix antenna that the Garmin 60 series uses is far better(meridian gold had this for allong time) but my thing is i want a way smaller GPS. i dont want to always take my huge meridian into the woods.
