Within the next 6 months or so I want to purchase a hand-held GPS for hiking and such. Have experience with Garmin GPS for cars only. Also Iphone GPS but I want a designated GPS for hiking, kayak fishing, backwoods fishing, etc. I assume that I won’t need a compass as the GPS will also incorporate a compass or am I wrong? Haven’t looked at GPS units other than on-line yet. I’ve seen re-furbished GPS units; as a cheap guy I like that idea, but as a guy with terrible sense of direction I don’t like it. I want: Simplicity above all. Would like to pay less than $300. Don’t mind carrying extra batteries. Topo maps on screen; will also carry printed topo maps for the areas. Tks for any and all thoughts. Terry

I'd like to fix the sole on the most comfortable low hiking boots I've had. I've only had them for less than two years, so there's not a lot of wear on soles or shoe. The rubber sole with the hiking lugs separated in places, mostly near the arch and heel and I'm wondering what the best repair glue would be. I've tried: 1. Liquid Rubber, which did not bind to either the shoe base or the rubber sole; 2. Hot melt glue, but was only the General Purpose sticks for crafts and not specific for this type application - didn't bind the rubber sole to the shoe; 3. Form a Gasket, two types. One dried Ok! but did not bind properly and the other looked like it might've needed engine heat to cure properly I have some Liquid Nails cartridges I thought I might try but I remembered this stuff dries hard and would likely lose adhesion when it eventually would crack at this point between the sole arch and heel. Quick Internet search suggests : Shoe Glue or Gorilla Glue Anyone have experience or recommendations for these products and how best to use them. I always try to bind the repair with flat wood splints, shoe strings and quick release squeeze handle wood-clamps - while the fix is drying but not to much pressure. thanks, greynold99
