I have a GPS310 by Global Positioning Systems, UK. Cost about 100 UKP and I am very pleased with it. What sold it to me rather the the cheaper Garmin unit was that it did UK grid references as well as lat/long. Not much good in Canada I know but...

The lower price ones do not guarantee the accuracy that The BPL needs though. I think mine only promises to be within 15 metres. Go for a more expensive one if you need pin-point stuff.

My mate Ged said more or less the same as Garg the first time I used it. We split into 2 parties and about 3 hours later Ged phoned us - lost! I do agree though about the ability to use map and compass. I use the GPS as much for fun as anything - It realy is good to have two sets of references. But I guess I realy am paranoid;-)

Cheers
