<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>I'm using a Garmin GPS Map 60csx for years and do have very good experience with it, it is now discontinued but the successor is still available (the differences between the models is mostly the sensors: barometer or not, electronic compass or not). You should be able to get something like this for around 200USD: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-GPSMAP-Handheld-GPS-Navigator/dp/B003IHV6XW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385400009&sr=8-2&keywords=garmin+60csx">http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-GPSMAP-Handheld-GPS-Navigator/dp/B003IHV6XW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385400009&sr=8-2&keywords=garmin+60csx</a><br>
</div>The advantages are long battery life (around 20 hours), screen readable in the sunlight, rugged waterresistant device, "compatible" with osm maps through mkgmap and precompiled maps. They do not have GLONASS compatibility (AFAIK) and you should look for a model extendable via micro SD cards.<br>
<br></div>Another alternative I know some people who use it is this logger: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/iBlue-747proS-Recorder-Motion-Sensor/dp/B00GIGMU76/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385400286&sr=8-3&keywords=logger+iblue+747i">http://www.amazon.com/iBlue-747proS-Recorder-Motion-Sensor/dp/B00GIGMU76/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385400286&sr=8-3&keywords=logger+iblue+747i</a><br>
</div>obvioulsy a cheaper solution (maybe you can this for around 50USD), but isn't rugged, hasn't a screen and IMHO also worse reception (at least the older model which I once compared to the Garmin handheld).<br>
<br></div>The osm wiki has a fairly nice (maybe partly outdated) comparison of different devices with links to subpages: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews</a><br>
