Garmin GPS 72. 160 or so bucks. Made for the marine enviroment, floats, water proof. I have one and beat the hell out of it and it has never let me down after about 5 years. My Dad had a magellen and it died in a storm. Screeen went blank. Wasnt as waterproof as they advertised.
Yellow etrex. Works great, cheap, runs forever on two double AA batteries, has about everything you'd need, doesn't have a bunch of stuff you don't need, easy to use, max speed memory etc. etc. Mine's dead nutz on with my truck speedo. 1 second speed refresh (which is as fast as some of the more expensive ones). I highly recommend it.
I have the bottom of the line $99 eTrex. For use in the boat it's great. Not a lot of screens to screw around with; just the basics. Instant, average, & Max speed, odometer, waypoint marking, etc. Simple, basic, and to the point. Plus, if I screw up & lose it, I'm only $99 sad.

I agree here totally, its water proof and cheap and easy to use and if something happens to it, only $100 at Target and easily replaced.
