I need to find a gps that will figure square feet.  Anybody know of which unit will do this and map it out?  It should be transferrable to a laptop, if possible.

Thanks

Someone here knows what I need.  This place knows everything.

Wait wat?  You want to be able to walk around an area and have the GPS tell you how big it is?

garmin oregon will figure square feet I believe.  You walk the property (or whatever) and it calculates it for you.



I have one, but have never used the function.  The way I remember reading it was you just hit start and then when you hit your start point again it stops and calculates.

That's pretty much exactly what he wants.

Garmins do; specifically I know the eTrex and 60 series will.

Yup.  My 60CSx will calculate area.

I've used my Garmin Colorado to do just that.

Even the basic Garmin Etrex Legend can do this. It will calculate Acreage, just convert those numbers to square feet and you are GTG.
