Boyd and Seldom,
Thank you! This is exactly the type of info I needed. I am in the Pennsylvania area. I will look around and see where I can go in and try each suggested model out. I had planned to just order something and give it a go.  Does it matter if I plan to learn to Geocaching with the same device?

I have looked at the link you suggested, but as a newbie all of his is just information that i am not sure how to translate it into my desires.

Hello,
I am so happy I found this forum! i have started hiking about 6months ago and now I would like to purchase a gps receiver. I would like the following: minimally 10 hour battery life, compass, tack my hiking route, download my routes on my Mac or windows computer, high sensitivity, loaded with maps of local and state parks. I also would like to tack my routes in miles traveled. I have never used a handheld device so i don't know if buttons or touch screen matters. Can you start with a budget purchase, a mid price and the the ultimate. Thank you
