If you don't care about power than etrex is generally what people end up with. I find them clunky and slow to use but they have better GPS than Edge devices, AA batts and seem more rugged. If you don't need all the bells and whistles you can use the cheaper models - they do much the same thing. Mine only really gets used as a backup device during races but I feel I might move it to primary spot for unmarked trail stuff because it responds quicker to direction changes.
Also, there's a whole Garmin thread and GPS thread

Can I ask people's opinions on the Garmin Etrex 32x? or Etrex in general.
I'm looking for the holy grail of long life and usability, the AA batteries, rugged design and simple looking use are what has caught my eye.
Are there any other GPS units I should look at (I'm not bothered about power etc as I ride fixed).
