    Default GPS for outdoor use?

    What is a good GPS for outdoor use that is affordable? I'm thinking of marking shooting ranges or hiking places, things like that.

    I've had really good luck with the Garmin eTrex. I am not familiar with the newer models, but the older ones I use have served me very well.

    I use Navigon on my Iphone 5. It's free if your phone is jailbroken. You can go places and save the GPS coordinates for next time. Plus no data/internet is required.

    Garmin all the way, eTrex or Dakota series. I still have my eTrex from twelve years ago.

    I like the full features of the Garmin GPSMap 62s but you're looking at about $350. For what you want, an eTrex 30 should do the job for $100 less.

    Probably below $300. I have some apps and a gps thing that plugs into my phone, but I'm hesitant to use because I don't want my phone to get trashed.
