I have a Garmin eTREX and have no complaints. It's simple, compact and yellow so it's easy to find if misplaced outdoors. Also a handlebar mount only cost me $15. Here's the webpage:

I've got an extrex legend and I love it. It is small yet easy to read, it has plenty of memory for all of you needs and I can carry it in my box on the back of my zooter and it can read the satellites through it. This way I don't have to worry about shaking it off.

PS. Garmin has a new one coming out that is is a cross between a tracking device, GPS and FRS radio. and it's gonna be cheap. it's called the rino, check it out here.

This is the one I am looking at (The New Garmin Rino). I love the fact that the GPS is combined with a two-way radio. Makes total sense eh? I will probably get the Rino 120.

I have just upgraded to a Garmin GPS V. Came with cable to connect to PC and included software to download maps and waypoints from the PC to GPS or back again. Have started tracking my trips and when I get home download to the PC. System is very easy to use. I have the handlebar mount from Garmin for the GPS and my brother custom built a mounting bracket for it on my P650. Pictures on Web Site.
