I would like to get the best for my money. Only constraint is must be under $200 total (shipping/tax).
I have been looking at the Garmin Rino 120. I like the idea of the radio/GPS combination, but by no means is that required.
Thanks.

The ones with the built in radio eat batteries like a kid eats gummie bears. Avoid them.
For a good one in the under $200 buck category look at the eTrex series of GPS

I've owned a few Garmins and it is what I would recommend.
Not sure about models in that price range, but the eTrex in general have great reputations.

I use a Garmin eTrex for all kinds of stuff. No problems, and it was even dropped in water once. Good product for just over one Benjamin Franklin.

I've got an eTrex Vista CX. I like it quite a bit. My only gripe is the lack of an external antenna jack. That particular one is a bit pricy, but one of the less-optioned ones should serve you well.

What's the cheapest thing you can get nowadays? I just want something for a skateboard speedometer. I figure they are down well below 100 these days.
