| Lizard Lady Notes: | LL rated best off-road handheld w/full features incl: inreach & camera | LL rated 2nd best off-road handheld (no camera) | LL HIGHLY recommends having the inReach feature. Great GPS if you Have a mini or regular inReach |
Buttons are best if you are mapping/creating routes, but no inReach feature here | Affordable, but no inReach & no power mount option. Add Mini inReach @ $349 & 700i is a $50 better buy with more features | Affordable, but no inReach & no power mount option. Add Mini inReach @ $349 & 700i is a $50 better buy with more features | 700 PRO has much bigger screen for $100 diff. It's worth it when you can see the screen on-the-fly! | 700i has much bigger screen & inReach for $100 more. It's worth it when you can see the screen on-the-fly & have safety/communication at your fingertips! |
