Which GPS to Buy

[bac]

I am looking for an in-expensive GPS. Any recommendations? I have looked at Garmin GPS72 and E-Trex Legend.....

if money is an issue my advice would be save up a little longer and buy a better one. buy one you can that you can get map software for and download it to the gps. you won't be sorry you waited. having a gps is better than not having one but the differnce in a little better one is unbelievable. also try ebay. thats where i got mine and i saved about $200.

Which one would you recommend?

i bought a garmin gpsmap76. it isnt the color one but you can download maps on it and it is dead on accurate. no complaints at all. you can change the screen around so the lake maps are white and the land is dark colored and it makes it alot easier to read. i glanced through ebay really fast and there were still a few of them on there. they were from $150 to $175. look for the brand new ones. make sure they are the map76 and not the 76c or cs. the software is about $90. trust me its worth the extra money. i know someone who has a cheaper one and he wishes he would have waited since he saw mine.
