Re: GPS
I have a Garmin EMap unit that works nice.
It can load all types of maps into a memory stick and comes stock with a
nice North American map in it.
I haven't needed anything more than the stock map because it has all the
main highways on it and lakes and rivers so I can just fire it up and it
shows me where I am in relation to known landmarks like the roads and
water and what direction I am heading. Then it gives me the lat and
long too, but I haven't ever needed that.
I got it for xmas a couple years ago and don't think it was too
expensive.

Re: GPS
Garmin eTrex Legend are around $200. I have an older Garmin that I have
really liked, I would buy another Gamin in a minute. Also $200 will buy a
great GPS no matter what brand. Even the basic GPS will be as accurate as
an expensive one. What you really pay for is the ability for it to hold
mapping software. But one feature that I don't have that I would really
like is a built in electronic compass, I end up carrying a compass with me
anyways.
