Any recommendations for a GPS?

I use a Garmin 76C.  It's not the current model, which is the
76Cx.  It's a color display mapping device.  It floats, and has
marine mapping.  It's a little on the big side for a handheld.

It can talk to a computer over a USB or a serial link.

I find it useful for bicycle touring and general road use.  It's
accurate as far as I can tell.  Consensus opinion among bicylists
is that this is the one to have.  The 76CSx has a barometric
altimeter as well but it is harder on batteries.

The non-mapping devices are considerably less expensive.

The maps aren't exactly inexpensive, either.  US Topo is a
good one.
