GPS Recommendation: Garmin GPS 73 Handheld GPS Navigator - Purchase through Amazon.com
The GPS 73 is a low-cost solution designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). The GPS 73 can provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections. This rugged, waterproof, unsinkable GPS receiver offers a large, 4-level grayscale screen. It's designed as the next generation in basic, entry-level Garmin GPS.

      *GPS interface requires two cables. The GPS/DGPS cable (Item 2950CV5) is available from Spectrum.

        A PC serial interface cable supplied by the manufacturer of the GPS receiver is also required.

    **PC cable connects to a computer USB port
