    Hi Robert,

    I'm not able to recommend any specific devices (especially since I almost never use them!)

    We use the CalTopo mobile app for most GPS purposes these days. If you have a good smartphone or tablet, I'd suggest giving the app a try. Many SAR organizations are moving that way.

    Thanks,
    Julie
