Garmin Hunting/Fishing Calc
One of Garmin's features is Hunting/Fishing Calc, what does it do? Does it
calculate best time to fish or Hunt based on what? Tide or moonphase? I'm
curious because this feature is a deciding factor with my purchase.

I think, it's 'simply' accorded to sunrise and -set. May be you have the
chance to have a look at at your local dealer. Compare hunting/fishing
to sunrise/-set ... I can't tell closer, cause I'm neither hunter nor
fisher :-)

Use Google to search the newsgroup archives for 'solunar theory'.
The topic has been discussed before in both GPS newsgroups.

It's not that simple. The calculations is based on solunar tables which do
take into account Moon and Sun. Since tides relate to the same, there is a
relation there as well.
In any case, few of my friends swear by these tables. I used to be a sceptic
but my casual observations appear to confirm the increased activity in
animal kingdom at the times indicated. Come to think about it, the real
reason why I don't depend on this info too much is that I hate to be told
that my chances of getting the game are slim...

I rate the value of this feature right up there with the video game
feature of the new Garmin unit ;>) Sort of like forcasting the weather
with the Farmer's Almanac. IMHO The sun rise/set, moon phase feature
is most useful for hunting/fishing. As is tide/current info in some
chart software.
