Particularly if your ground crew are non-aviation types, you probably want
the minimum unit that features a base map in memory. A basic gps will point the
way to your landout site, but not give any information about what road to take
to get there. The Garmin eTrex Legend is a good example with a street price
just under $300.00.

Hello,
I am interested in purchasing an inexpensive handheld GPS for crew use
during retrieves. Any suggestions on units that are easy to use for a
first time user (simple for the crew), and easily accept Lat/Longs to
find a glider out in the boondocks would be appreciated. Sources for
discounted or used units would be nice also. Thanks,
BH
