Me too--I just bought one last week from Amazon for $295, now it
appears to be selling for $267:

Someone I know that works for ESRI (the company that sells ArcGIS)
told me that this is his tool of choice. He said that the Garmin
Colorado series models were inferior if you plan to use them on the
trail--the antennas are not as powerful as the ones in the GPSMAP 60
series.
It has an amazing antenna, a color display, a built-in altimeter and a
built-in compass. It accepts MicroSD cards for more memory. I love it.

Dear Friends,
The time has come for me to ask for your help.
The last time I was seriously doing any orienteering was in the
military, and before that digging through USGS drawers at the local
sporting goods store hoping to find the topo maps I wanted.
I now find myself starting a business where I need a nice hand held
GPS, and I obviously want it to do double duty on caving trips and
karst walks.
I'm looking to spend around $300, but can go higher if there's a
really good model I should own.
What do you recommend? Which models have served their owners well,
and which ones have looked pretty and then broken down with the
slightest abuse?
My Best Regards,
~~Thomas
