Mixed emotions prevail. Waypoints are installed using Garmin basecamp..........just click, make an icon, zoom in, zoom out...........move along your projected path. Rinse and repeat. When your done just a few clicks and all is transferred to the GPS.

My first time in the Q I did the Hunters Island route. Well over 100 miles traveling the historical trappers route. I had no GPS. I broke the compass out once on crooked lake. I had a real feeling of satisfaction when I finished.

I can't help but wonder if I will have that same feeling of satisfaction while using the GPS. It will certainly be more relaxing granted. But will that be a good thing? I sort of liked having that little bit of heightened awareness. That feeling that you had better pay attention.

I suppose the remoteness of WCP will compensate and push me into having my game face on, GPS or no GPS. I will give it a whirl........Being a gear guy I will probably end up liking it..............it just seems so much like cheating though.
