Hey Tanya,

We purchased 25 units at $100 each for our annual photographic excursion
into Joshua Tree National Park. We asked participants to record the
coordinates of their photos so we could great a Google Earth Map for the
museum. About 15 people took us up on it, others already at GPS on their
phone or other. We purchased the cheapest model possible from Best Buy. A
foundation who has been a big supporter paid for the purchase.

We purchased the Garmin Etrek. Simple to use and cheap.
