For anyone curious, I ended up going for the Garmin eTrex 30 *plus also*
the Garmin GLO, plus accessories (cases and belt clips and the like), from
GPSCity.  Basically, I got the two main items from GPSCity for the same
price as Garmin's normal list retail for just the eTrex 30 by itself.  And,
that was still within / at the upper limit I'd originally set for what I
was thinking about spending.  I dithered about it for a little while, but
decided that this way I would have a dedicated GPS device capable of
communicating with Android devices if after getting some experience I
decided that was the better way to go.

It took them a few days to ship, because one of the items I ordered was
backordered, but it was finally shipped today and I should receive it on
Dec 9.  Yay.



Again, thanks for all the responses.
