Got some Christmas money and am looking at spending some of it on a handheld unit. What are the best ones for under 200 bucks?

I have used the Etrex and it absolutely sucks! I couldn't figure it out. I have a Magellan 1412. It's portable, maybe not what you're looking for in Handheld, but it's AWESOME! It's gotten me out of some uh-ohs I am really good at getting in. I can't find my way out of shoe boxes. I use it on the 4 wheeler and Ranger Rzr when we go and stuff. It's battery powered... You can mount it on a boat or whatever with the mount it comes with! Size wise it's about 3" high and 4" long (me guessing). You can see them on ebay, it's where I got mine. This is a site that tells about it..

Hope it will help!

PS I know where a magellan explorist 210 handleld is that they will sell for 60 (maybe less)... Holla if you're interested...My cousin has it.

I have a Garmin Vista..it works great..I even dropped it in water once..does a great job of helping locate "duck hunting spots" in the dark..

Ive got the etrex and I don't have any problems with it, its good for what it is good for marking a spot and going back to it.....
