receivers are sorted by price with the least expensive first. Choose
a GPS receiver with the features you need at a price that fits your
budget. All these receivers are Factory NEW, built by the
most reputable companies in the business and come with full
factory warranties.

- Basic GPS Receivers
- These GPS receivers do include 12 parallel
channel speed and accuracy crucial to tracking GPS satellites in heavy
tree cover. These Basic GPS units can be connected to a personal
computer to upload/download waypoints or for use with PC based map
software such as the ones developed by DeLorme,
Garmin (for Garmin GPS receivers), Wildflower,
All Topo Maps, and National
Geographic/Trails Illustrated, National
Geographic State Series (Earthmate works only with DeLorme
software). These GPS receivers do not come with
built-in maps or points-of-interest databases nor can
CD-ROM maps be downloaded to them. They are good value
for the dollar, basic GPS units that will report your
location in Latitude and Longitude and store waypoints, routes, and
tracks just as well as the more expensive GPS units.
