I am wondering if anyone can help me find a very user friendly handheld GPS?
I am looking for one for my father in-law for him to use at work, and my only requirement is that it be easy to operate. can anyone give me any advise on which GPS(s) to start looking at? Thanks

Look and the Garmin Oregon. A little newer technology than the 60csx and E-trex, with ability to get satellite imagery.
I have the 60csx and thats the only thing that I wish it had.

thanks for the responses.Think I might have found one that looks like it will work (Garmin etrex)
appreciate the help
I have an oregon (garmin) touch screen. Dont think you could make it any easier to use (1 button) but about twice the price of an etrex. Really like the ability to add in maps though. I use it as a backup chartplotter on my boat and also for backroads.
Good luck!

I have an older Garmin Etrex that I just replaced with the 60CsX. The Etrex was plenty simple enough and worked well enough but the biggest issue I had with it was the fact it would lose satellite reception so easily. Forget about any reception if you are anywhere close to under a tree. Other than that, out in the open it worked fine. If thats all you need it should be plenty good enough.
