[quote=sdduuuude]For cheap, look on ebay for a really old model – like a Garmin GPS III or something like that.

I have one. It is several years old. B/W screen. Anchient maps. No navigation guide. Still, it does two things well: Lat and Long. It would probably serve you well on your hike.

It has some nice features, too. You can offload data to a PC, or plug into a serial port on a laptop and superimpose the lat/long in real time on some mapping applications.

They gotta be $50 on ebay.[/quote]

I’d check out geeks.com for something of last generation. The thing I don’t like about ebay these days is that the fees are ridiculous. And as a buyer, that usually means a ridiculous shipping/handling cost.
