Garmin makes good GPS's. If you go with Garmin get a newer one that has a CX after the name. They have a better antena then the older Garmins. The Garmin 60 CSX works well also. Magellan explorist series work very well in heavy canopy areas. For an inexpensive in and out GPS the Magellen explorist 100 works very well. I used it last fall and this spring with out complaint. If you want to get some good reviews on GPS's go to www.geocaching.comand surf the forums section.

Personally, I am a big fan of the Garmin Units. There mght be other better units, though you will pay considerably more for them. I have been usning a Garmin GSP 12 for about 8 years now. I love it. Sure there are newer models out there, but in my case, it isn't broke, so I am not going to replace it.

Personally I like the new EarthmatePN-20 by DeLorme...The topo mapsand other features you can purchase if you wish all add up to make one of the best... Trusted and used by state police up here and in other areas as well speaks for it self. Although the price for this one is slightly higher than what you asked for specials are offered quite a bit. Good Luck on what you decide...

I have heard good stuff about the earthmate as well, though I have never used one. I won't say not to spend the extra, I can only reccommend what I am familiar with .
