Best handheld GPS for International Travel.I am traveling to Africa this summer and wanted to know what the best GSP would be, I need one that will be cheap, but work great. I just want to be able to know where I am and maybe be able to use it for turn-by-turn when I get back intop the states.Garmin is a great GPS manufacturer! I would recommend either the C330 or even the C550 if you want street names voiced by the GPS.

Whats the best handheld GPS unit? I have the Garmin eTrex Legend C. I bought it for about $350.00 and i love it. You can pay a bit extra for the Garmin eTrex Vista C and it comes with a built in compass but its really not worth it. You can find northy without a compass with the Legend. Both are sunlight readabe, color displays, water-proof to 30m, and shock resistant. I absolutly love mine. Check it out at www.Garmin.com . Whatever you buy, make sure it is WAAS enabled. …
