    Getting a GPS. need recommendation

    as much as I like spending money on my rig. it's pretty much the same thing. so I figure I buy a new toy I don't have.

    I settle on a GPS as I will start to do hiking and outdoor stuff again.

    anyone here familiar with protable GPS ?

    My budget is up to $250.

    I heard the Gremlins GPS are pretty good. I don't know jack about GPS units or what features they have and stuff.
    I see some that are:
    - color screen
    - 16+ megs of ram
    - PC connetions.

    can anyone recommend a best bang for bux GPS unit for my budget.
    I would like
    - something that is relatively small
    - use standard batteries
    - good feature sets.
    - durable.

    Whenever I hear about navigational equipment, I automatically think Garmin products. I can't give you personal info on use though, but I've always gathered they have a fairly solid reputation for being one of the better brands out there.
