Simple handheld GPS for old fashioned people...?
My dad is thinking about getting a GPS, his main use would be tromping around in the woods looking for old mines and cabins etc. Something with a decent screen for viewing maps, a waypoint or path tracking option, and a very simple interface for a guy that would rather have been born in the early 1800's. Thanks for any help or pointers!!!!

I would say Garmin, brandwise. Much better overall than Magellan IMHO.
I'm very happy with my year old Venture CX but it has a smallish screen. Middle of the road level.

Garmin 72 or 76, the BW's are on sale now and they are easy to use.

x2 on the Garmin. However, I would recommend the new eTrax series.

Thanks Chad, this electronic stuff doesn't make me tick like gears and engines do. So it's nice to have people that know, tell me what's what!

I don't know if I know any more than the next guy, but an eTrax is what I'm planning on buying for myself and for my dad (who sounds a lot like your dad!).
