I've kind of been in the markget and the Magellan Sport Trak (Pro if you can
afford it) seems like a good choice. It is WAAS capable (3m) and gets very
good reviews for getting good position data under difficult signal
conditions.
With any GPS they usually have a DC Power/PC Data cable combo for $30-40
that is helpful.
Many of the units have companion PC software for maps.
If you are going to use them with GIS you can usually find some
freeware/cheapware to down/up load points, tracks, and trails. I know that
is the case with the Gramin units - WayPointPlus is a great freeware tool.
Not sure what is availabel for the Magellan units.
