This one's for the adventurer in you: Garmin brought out the eTrex Legend Cx, with a microSD slot allowing you to take along maps of your choice. The barometric altimeter is immensely useful for climbers and hikers, providing accurate elevation.
Thanks to the sunlight-readable 256-color display, you can clearly see your location and other associated details. You can download maps over the provided mini-USB port from separately available MapSource CDs via a PC.
