Sure, I do this all the time. GPS units work great (as long as you're outdoors and you're not surrounded by too many tall buildings). Just about any brand works fine. Most of my experience has been with Garmin gear, and older Trimble gear.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If all you want to do is determine if your link is unobstructed, then eyeballing your link may be the most effective thing, given that your potential link is only two miles long. For longer links, for links with obstructions, or for links that you want to document, you can use the lat/lon measurements you get along with a topographic map (or topo-map software like Topo-USA from Delorme--cheap and good in my experience) to figure out if you've got enough clearance over hills, etc.. (It takes a bit more work to account for the height of buildings or trees along the path.)
