Simple GPS...

.

Does anyone know where I can get a lower-priced handheld GPS that displays map coordinates? (Long/Lat.) Don't have any use for the other fancy features.

Re: Simple GPS...

Have you tried a military surplus store? These generally cater to people pursuing outdoors recreation, e.g. backpackers.

- Yes. I tacked one of those on to my Midway order last night.

- Screwy that the BackTrack and BackTrack3 DON'T show coordinates. That's basically what GPS is! I'm astonished that so many people apparently need a gizmo to just find their way back to camp from a hike.
