What are the lowest cost handheld GPS units which can also give turn by turn driving directions?

It would be nice to have something that I can take in the woods with me and also use in the car for directions.


There's one for sale at circuitcity for $199 right now, its on sale... I think its called the Mio or something close to that, you'll need to do the research yourself, the reviews on this GPS are really great.

How accurate to the foot are handheld GPS Units?



that's a difficult question to answer.
if you are referring to the typical consumer model, the simple answer is probably a meter or so using a real time correction source such as WAAS, and up to 30 or more meters autonomously.
professional grade GPS runs anywhere from sub-meter (mapping grade) to sub-centimeter (survey grade)

Can a regular gps handheld unit be used to map a golf course?

i was considering buying a sky caddie gps, but i was wondering if you can use a regular gps to map a golf course on your own. i've never used a gps so i really don't know anything about them.


Why bother for $150.00 you can get the iGolf Neo.
The website in "source" below rates it above the Skycaddie although this is mainly because of price.
And you can start playing straight away without fussing about mapping. Besides how accurate will your 200 meters be when you are going over undulating ground?
With the iGolf you will have a exceptional GPS and over a hundred bucks change.
But the Skycaddie is also a great GPS.
And both will be able to analayze your game.
Keep that head down and follow through!!!

The RoamEO is the latest GPS device for owners who worry about their dogs’ disappearing acts or who are sick of spending valuable time searching for that ‘duck-hunter’ who’s too dog-tired to return with the catch.
