There are 3 series of GARMIN GPS that are recommended for the RVO:
- Series 1 – EDGE 1000 / 810/800,
- Series 2 – eTrex 25/35, eTrex 30/20/10, Dakota 20, OREGON, MONTANA.
- Series 3 – MAP 62/60.
The EDGE 500/510/520 SERIES ARE NOT USEABLE ON THE RVO as they cannot display tracks
The discontinued ranges of – EDGE (705/605) and eTrex Legend HCX & Vista HCX are useable but not recommended.
The Edge 705/605 is a Training Monitor better suited for road cycling, to monitor personal performance metrics. For the RVO, the Edge 705/605 has a very limited tracking function, it’s map screen is very small with poor resolution, thereby challenging for quick and precise navigation out on the forest trails.
