What is the best value for a hand held GPS for outdoor hiking?


I am in the market to purchase a hand held GPS system. I am interested in the Garmin eTrex Venture Cx, but I seek other opinions. Which brand and model have worked well for you?

I use the Garmin 60C which is now discontinued but the new version the 60csx would be a great all around gps. I use mine for backpacking, kayaking, snowboarding and mountain biking. Rugged design, water proof, shockproof.

The three top picks in Backpacker Magazine's gear guide issue which arrived today include the Garmin eTrax Venture Cx $ 286, Garmin GPSmap 60CSx $ 538 and stripped down CS version $ 482, and the Magellan eXplorist XL $ 400. The latter two worked well in canyons and timber, while the first one drops to 125 foot radius precision in those areas.

Garmin e-trex legend. Very basic, practical, easy to use. At a fair price
