I have an older Etrex, its the yellow one for about $99. Most of the time after it has locked in on the Sats. it says 18' accuracy. i have seen it lock in on 14' a few times. So what is the standard these days? I think its an eleven channel, and i hear the newer ones have 13. It makes for a lot of looking sometimes trying to find something you know is there. I'm wanting to get a new one , so what is the best bang for the buck. i would like it to have an electronic compass, and be able to hook up to my pc. this unit needs to be under $300 and hand held. thanks jm
