[QUOTE="condor22, post: 598688, member: 1932"] Etrex 20, easy to use, affordable. Plenty of threads on here for handheld GPS, try Garmin as a search it will bring them and most others. Noted in another thread, but..... I set 2 waypoints and rename them to CAR & CAMP. Once in memory you can go into each and reset its position to where it and you are. I set my CAMP as if I'm found and unable to tell rescuers, they can find its location. The important one is CAR, reposition to where you park each time you stop and leave your car. I generally turn the GPS off after that and only turn on if I get misplaced. Then tell the GPS to GOTO the car and follow the line. I get over a year from battery by doing this. [/QUOTE]
