scoop: a keen x-mas gift for the parents, but the research i've done has lead only to more questions than answers and the guy working behind the counter doesn't seem to know much of anything.
bottom line is i'm looking for a hand held non-colour gps with all the crap i can get on it for under or around 300$. anyone have any suggestions/thoughts based on experience? this thing is also not likely to be used in the car, it'll be for hiking and biking information gathering.

thanks guys!
