I bought the cheepest one I could find, it is Etrex. $95.oo at Gander mountain.
nothing fancy, have to enter way points by hand, (it is time consuming if you are entering places to go) marking where you are is a snap. so if you find a fishing hole you can mark it and come right back to it even after a 3 foot snow storm.
you do have to watch out for airplains flying over head, they tend to mess up the signal while passing over.
I am currently putting this unit to a test period of an undetermined time. as me how in a pm and I will share there.....
