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.

Today a woman came to my house to pass our Census forms. She had a GPS unit with here. Why would she need that?
He/she is giving your address a GPS coordinate to ensure that residents are counted in the right location in the 2010 decennial.
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)
I trail ride in heavily wooded areas. I would like to start doing some riding off the beaten path. I am interested to know what handheld GPS units some of you use. Which GPS gets the best reception under heavy tree cover? What about value for the money?
Go with the Garmin HCx. You'll be wondering where you DON'T get a signal. Garmin are the best navigational systems in my opinion, and this handheld one is great for going over the mountain and through the woods, to grandmother's house you'll go!
:P
