[geeks] Good, cheap GPS?

[William Enestvedt]

There are USB-connected units meant to be hooked to a laptop for use with
route-planning software, for pretty small money. Even DeLorme (who makes the
handheld GPSr that I use) -- who is never cheap -- sells a line called the
"Earthmate Laptop GPS units" for like forty bucks new:

   Or do you mean a handheld? If you want a handheld, buy a used yellow Garmin
Etrex or something. They have a grayscale screen with a direction indicator
and not much else -- but that will grab you the coordinates pretty easily.

    Mind you, newer units are faster, so your question will be balancing
"newer and thus faster, but more expensive" against "cheaper but slower and
probably older."
