Garmin eTrex GPS availability, price and reviews

Electronics

On geotagging for Mac users, DocNo42 recommends:

Garmin Etrex – the cheapest one that will data log. Benefit – I don’t have to think about it, has much better reception than dedicated devices designed to hang off cameras and battery life that lasts for DAYS. I just turn it on into track mode, make sure it’s near the top of my backpack and head out.

With the way Aperture imports track logs, it’s bar-none the easiest way to geotag – other than it being built into the cameras. I wouldn’t mess with any finicky GPS units that fit in the hot-shoe – there is absolutely no need, especially now.

You should be able to get a good rugged weatherproof (very important!) GPS for under $200. Personally I think Garmin is the best, especially now that the Mac is no longer a second class citizen for them.
