Anyone have a GPS handheld that i can borrow for two weeks while im in idaho… looking for one with US TOPO loaded on it. mostly prob wont use it but i have full topo maps and my route planned but when your at 10,000 elevation with nothing but a backpack this item could come in handy if we get turned around… i looked into getting one but cant afford to drop that kinda of loot right now… so if someone has one i can borrow it would be much apprieciated…i will take full responisbilty if anything happens to it ---

Didn’t they teach you how to read a map at pararescue school. ![http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/5104QXJWVCL.AA280.jpg](http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/5104QXJWVCL._AA280_.jpg) ![http://www.trails.com/topo_get.asp?z=12&e=281431.545450503&n=4891500.46607063&size=s&s=200&Style=drgsr&TrailID=&GPXFile=MyGPSData&advanced=](http://www.trails.com/topo_get.asp?z=12&e=281431.545450503&n=4891500.46607063&size=s&s=200&Style=drgsr&TrailID=&GPXFile=MyGPSData&advanced=) ---

Hopefully someone will let you borrow theirs. I would if I had one. I doubt it though. Not enough people on here are that courtious. ---

Not enough people on here are that courtious. I wouldn’t say that at all. I’ve seen plenty of people help each other out on here. Side note: this thread is in on-topic. ---
