      For GPS receivers per-se I have my eye on a Garmin 60CSX, which is £524 new but several available second hand on ebay for c. £300.

      It is supposed to work in heavy foliage and deep canyons, is completely waterproof, and includes an accurate altimeter and compass.

      I imagine one can get navigation systems for it as well.

        mio168

        i bought a mio 168 from a site called novatech , it cost about £200 quid , its a pocket pc + gps , it came with software called navigon , but it was not very good , so i got a copy ov tomtom , and what can i say . its the best thing i have ever bought , i travel between 200-500 miles a day , it has never let me down . it takes me from door to door and warns me of speed cameras .
        ive heard that mio 168 is on its way out , but other companys still sell it .
        i would be lost without it . i havent looked at a map for the last 12 months , totaly awesome .

              I had one fitted to the Jag when I bought it a couple of years ago it cost £1000 at the time its not so bad for a NAV system. But I have also just bought two TomToms not sure which ones they were about £150 each for two off our engineers. They seem to work well.

                I use one of these...



                The Northrop Grumman Navigation Systems Division (NSD) LN-260 is a Form, Fit, and Function replacement INS/GPS for the F-16. The LN-260 is a high performance, low cost INS/GPS that combines the existing F-16 missionization of NSD’s LN-100G, with the state-of-theart Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) based inertial sensor assembly from the LN-251.
