Haha after yesterday's phone fail, I really want one. However, I am on a student budget. Do you know of any good models that are cheap? I found a used TomTom for $20, but isn't there a difference between the GPS units for cars and the ones that we need for geohashing?

I have been checking Craigslist, and noticed that there seems to be a difference between automotive and sporting GPS devices. How do you tell? For example, is this[[http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/3188628624.html]] what I would need?

Never used one, though it looks kinda similar to stuff in pictures from other people's reports?  I'm not sure.  You could ask around.  -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] 13:46, 15 August 2012 (EDT)
