Goki,
With respect to pricing, I bought a Garmin etrex yellow 5+ years ago for under $100 USD, and an etrex summit (adds a digital compass and altimeter) for not much more a few years later - you should be able to find a variety of recreational-grade units for under $100 USD - I even saw a basic Magellan explorist recently for under $100 USD. If you don't have local stores carrying them, you can probably get a unit by mail order - While there are export restrictions in place for US sales of GPS, I'm fairly certain that Malaysia is not on that embargoed country list. You may also want to check with some local land surveyors or other professionals who may have similar needs with respect to local dealers and vendors. There are also "mouse" type GPS units - which do not have an integrated display, but instead which instead hook to a laptop or PDA either by USB cable or Bluetooth - these can be found for $40-50 USD or less.

The basic GPS that I am looking for should provide long/lat with WGS84 datum.Consumer grade about 30meter accuracy is good enough. I don't want to have additional functionalities.No GIS mapping required. Thanks and Regards Goki On 25/01/2008, David G.

Do you need sub-meter or survey grade equipment, or just a basic consumer grade unit? Is there any other potential long-term value to your department which could be served by having additional functionalities, such as GIS mapping?
