The Magellan eXplorist series has a fully functional GPS outdoor reciever. It is an excellent first unit and is built for the beginners who need help in navigation within reach while making the most of their hiking expeditions. The Magellan GPS receiver is definitely one of the best bets in areas such as the rain forests of Oregon.

Moreover the screen is quite large with a sufficient base map. You must bear in mind the fact that no GPS reciever can perform well under thick tree covers or steep hilly terrains. Therefore just try to get away from the thick trees and try in the back drop of a clear sky. This should make it easy for the GPS receiver to function properly.GPS recievers are especially designed to function appropriately in the view of clear sky.
