Best small GPS

 

Get a new watch-band. The band that comes with the device is bulky and too short for me.

By far the best small/compact GPS device. Uses normal AAA batteries for easy replacement anyplace. Strong signal and WAAS accurate. PC interface so you can get GPS data to MAP applications (see your car move along the a big PC street map). A good...

Bulky when used like a watch. Screen too small for street-maps. A waypoint name can only be 8 charactors (not a problem unless you start having a whole lot of waypoints)
