> Hello MSAR-Riders,
>
> Important features in a GPS for use on horseback?  This is becoming a
> frequently asked question.  Here is my short list:
>
> Large display
> Large text
> Big buttons 
> Safety strap
> Holster
> Good reception when held +/- vertical (in pommel bag or on your belt)
> On/off button/switch not proud
> Optional:  lockout feature, so you don't change settings by accident
>
> Many other features are great to have on horseback (I especially
> like the speedometer feature), but these days you'll find them on all
> GPS units.
>
> Additions, comments, questions?
