Which Basic GPS

[Wiszard]

I am looking for a cheap, basic GPS for the sole purpose of not getting turned around in the woods. I don't need downloadable crap with it or one that can download maps, etc. I want one that I can take in the woods with me and be able to find my way back without having to know lattituds/longitudes, etc. I want to hit a button when I leave camp and be able to know where my camp is when I need to get back. Any ideas on what products will work for me? Thanks a bunch!

I have a basic Garmin e-trex that works great for that purpose and is super easy to use. They run about $100 but sometimes you can get them even cheaper.

Absolutely Garmin! One of the best purchases I have ever made.
I wouldn't go hunting without it!!

Ditto the e-trex. I have one that you can put maps on, but my dad has their basic model and it acquires the satellites just as fast and has the basic features you are looking for.

Thanks for the replies guys. That helps out a lot! I'll look into the e-trex.

I found the e-trex on clearance this spring at target. They had them for $29. Keep an eye out in clearance sections.

Garmin 72 is a workhorse. I own 3 of them so i can always find at least one of them.

Keep one in the boat as well.
