I'm thinking you should just use an app on a smartphone? There are tons around but it sounds like you need something basic - An app that allows you to go to a location and record a POI with some form of data and then export the list. iOS or Android should be fine. Just check how good the GPS unit is on the device or you could use something like this app which averages GPS coordinates to give a more accurate location:
