Garmin Map76! Easy to use. Enough for most needs but not too many.

I've got the Garmin Etrex Legend and love it. I use it at work and for play and it has served both purposes very well. You can get them for @$160 now at www.gpsworldsupply.com and they're a great company to work with. I did have a screen go out on mine, sent it to Garmin and they sent me a new one with all my waypoints installed in the new unit. I'm using a recreation grade unit under comercial condititions so I ain't faulting Garmin for the screen failure. If you get one of the Garmin units, go ahead and plan to spend the extra cash for one of their detailed map CDs. I've got Roads and Recreation and City Select and they make a huge difference in the effectiveness of the unit when using it off the main highways. I would like to get Mapsource Topo but haven't got up the cash yet. These little units are super easy to use and plenty of power and buttons/bells for hunting.

I 2nd the Etrex Legend. It has plenty of memory for maps, and it's easy to use. Just remember that map software adds some cost.

I recommend the Garmin Vista. Make sure any GPS you get has the electronic compass, that way you do not having to even be moving to get a reading. I have the base model Garmin etrex and love it but, I do wish it had the compass because you have to be walking a pretty good clip to get a correct reading. Other than that I love it. The Garmins are very user friendly.
