I'm looking for a recommendation for a handheld GPS for deep woods navigation. I will predominantly use this while riding horses. Touchscreen preferred. No less than a 3" diagonal screen, larger is better. Satellite reception is crucial. Many, if not all, iPhone GPS apps will lose reception in the woods we frequent. A good friend uses the Garmin Alpha 100, which was designed to track dogs. It has proven to be highly reliable. So, that's my benchmark. I am searching to see if there is anything even better out there. Thank you for any feedback.
FWIW, the forest we ride in is the Shawnee Forest of southern Illinois.
