I absolutely need a Lawrence GPS? To drive around on a ranch?

No. It's helpful, but the course will be well marked.

Just curious, why lorance GPS? If I had a newer handheld Garmin would that work? Is there some file that they give out for the GPS that has the trails on it?

Nice! That is how it's done. Hey Alan we missed ya at the Lil Sahara Dune Run. Crazy good time. Check out the pics and vids. You will want to ask off for that one too, esp since it is in your backyard.

If you do all 3 days of the Run you will find out the hard way that caution signs are fewer after all the "wild animals" run them over. With a Lowrance GPS you will mark both the known hazards AND you can mark other jarring semi-bad hazards that didn't make the list

Yeah It looked like a ton of fun and the pics are great! I'm sure we will make it out for the next one. Big raptor carrying the little raptor!

That is what I used, the only issue is that with the small screen size, it is hard to see at while going down the trail. The trail is VERY well marked, so it is not required.

Thanks, so is there some file to download for the trails? I don't really plan on using it much at speed but it would be nice to have as a reference.

There is a memory card that we all passed around with the map loaded on it. It does NOT have the hazards marked, that is what the parade lap is used for.

GPS is great out there the track changed day to day. Markers were knocked down or missing in some areas. Trey/BRT/Ross creek did an excellent job of keeping on top of markers.

Having a copilot/navigator helps watching the gps and upcoming hazards.
