The Hand held garmin are
The Hand held garmin are pretty good. That way when you get out and go for a walk into the bush you can still find your way back to the car.

If ya go hand held, get one which can also be run on 12 volts cigarette socket. they do chew through batteries quickly

Just a warning
On some Garmin models if the battery goes completely flat you loose all waypoints

garmin gpsmap 76cs
I use a garmin gpsmap 76cs, it runs on 2 AA batteries, easily replaced to repower if flattened. has a micro SD to install maps on and records waypoints. holds waypoints even when dead flat for over a couple of months. works well, I have mine as a backup to my system in the boat. used around mt magnet area with great reception. elieve its a discontinued products now as I have had mine for over three years and still going strong. able to be mounted in a cradle and run of 12 volt power as well wired into a car or boat.
