RE: [Philmont]: GPS units

My brother just got the Garmin Geko 201. It has all you need and is really
tiny. If I could afford a GPS I would be getting this one, it's under $150.

The Etrex are pretty cool. A friend of mine has one and it has all kinds of
stuff pre-programmed. Such as where the eating joints are at in the town you
are currently in (handy when you are driving to or from a trail head near
meal time). It also had the cabin in the State park we were hiking to
pre-programmed.
