The Columbus V-900 is $89. Charges via USB, records on a micro-USB,
has a button to take a waypoint, or another button to press to record
a georeferenced audio note. Gets a fix within two seconds if the
previous fix was less than two hours ago. It's only 1cm thick, so it
slips nicely into a pocket.
