What's a good entry/mid range level GPS? Gotta fat dividend balance to REI plus 20% coupon so this might be a good time to pick up a GPS unit. Thanks

The Garmin eTrex Vista HCx seems pretty popular. It's reasonably priced, has all the features you need, good battery life, and uses replaceable AA batteries. There is an arbitrary 500 point track file limit for some reason which is rather annoying. It is a little outdated and the user interface is really horribly designed. It works, and you "figure it out" eventually, but jeez did they do any UI testing at all? I haven't used anything else so I don't know if there is anything better.

Just a heads up. The 20% coupon does not apply to GPS devices.
