Can anybody recommend a good bare bones handheld GPS receiver?
I'm looking for a GPS receiver that I can use for back-country navigating in third world countries where no good commercial GPS maps are available. I need very basic compass and waypoint features, but no mapping.
Durability is a must!!!

Despite owning three Magellan receivers, I heartily recommend the basic yellow Garmin eTrex-H. It is durable, inexpensive, and does a decent job of finding your location for you. The eTrex-H has much the same hardware as its more expensive brethren, but none of the bells and whistles (such as decent mapping). Surprisingly, Wal-Mart still sells them at the same $99 price that they used to sell the original eTrex for.
I'd also get a decent compass such as a Silva or Brunton, just in case the batteries die. ;-)

i take advantage of a GOTO hand held - inexpensive and pleased, works properly with an OS map (It does have on-exhibit mapping even though it is not very stable for strolling interior the geographical area) that is going to offer your place to interior 3m making use of the two Lat / long or British OS grid co-ordinates, supply compass bearings or a direction arrow and you may set particularly state-of-the-paintings way factors and routes. it is not finished Sat Nav, this is for walkers who've stable map analyzing skills yet choose a stable place restoration and direction tricks. And it in basic terms fee 40 8 quid from Maplins! you may configure it for foreign places use, although I in no way have.

En general estoy bastante desorientada pero me gusta hacer deportes, buscado en los sitios web he encontrado un GPS especial para mí, la verdad es que además del buen precio el reloj con GPS me ha impresionada por la multitud de cosas que lleva y además funciona perfecto, una excelente compra sin duda.
