RE: GPS
I have a Garmin 76 (non mapping).
Like the size, size of screen, buttons have the words printed on them, not symbols.
Screen resolution is better than others.
I carry topo maps that I need to, so a mapping GPS's wasn't nessecary.
Its proven to be very handy and reliable.
Won't go in to the woods without it and a compass.
Hope this helps,
