[quote=desmond]I am looking at Hiking GPS devices. They seem high, $300-$500. I am trying to hike to an old mine site, I have the coordinates, looked it up on Google Earth for an overview. I have hiked the trail 3/4 of the way there. I just need a GPS to get me close since there is no direct trail. Can anybody help?[/quote]
There are some pretty sweet GPS apps in the Apple App store. You can get an 8GB iPod Touch for $229. I use TrailGuru (http://www.trailguru.com/) to track my runs. It basically records your route and uploads your GPS data to your profile so that you can track your progress. It gives you stats like distance, duration, min speed, avg speed, min elevation, max elevation, total ascent, total descent, calories, etc.
Not sure if it’s as robust as you need, but there are also companies like TomTom working on iPhone/iPod GPS apps that will be out soon.
