I have a Garmin etrex and it is a great little toy.
What will you be using it for?

I would use to mark locations on the lake I like to fish (has underwater structure etc) . Could use it for traveling I guess . I'm not really sure what all I could use it for . I have never played around with one . Thanks

YES! I love my eTrex! Awesome little unit. I think you can get them for $80 now.

Where can you get them for $80 ?

Well, if all you want is to set waypoints, then go with the compact etrex, but if you want to upload full topographic maps, then go with one of Garmin's more advanced models like the Vista.

iam looking to get one to hook up to Ipaq and i also want to map points with it using a program . Any suggestions ? I have looked at pharos and thought they looked good but the bad thing is the wait time and it has internal battery
