I have a Garmin Geko. Its small and basic, but it is water proof.

I bet you were talking about for vehicular navigation weren't you.:doh:

I have a Garmin iQue 3200. Works like a PDA with Palm OS and has a integrated GPS antenna. Only draw back is Garmin doesnt make it anymore.

I got a garmin nuvi 350. would not have any other kind. Its slim,user friendly,holds a 6 hr charge, and is very accurate. IMO, garmin is the best in gps equipment.

I have the factory Gm touchscreen nav that came in the escalades and denalis.

The GPS sucks ass but it gets the job done.

Its still one of the better deals out there though.

I use this one, too. I like it because I can preprogram my destinations using the coordinates entry in the "where do you want to go" section. I find that all of them have data bases that don't have all the addresses I want, or businesses like campgrounds don't advertise gps-friendly addresses. I use Microsoft's Streets and Trips software to pinpoint a campground or other destination and just plug the coordinates into the Garmin (her name is "Dolly"). Then I can give it a name and put it into my favorites folder. I find that this technique makes the gps much more useful.

I got my grandmother the Garmin Nuvi for Christmas, it's a nice unit for the money, and user friendly!
