I have been using the Garmin GPSmap 76Cx for two years now and I can truly say it is a tough unit and waterproof to boot. I use mine in the UTM mode to map my 1812 battlefield finds. I believe that it has been discontinued and not sure what replaced it. I got mine from West Marine, if I remember correct it was around $275.00. Does both UTM and Long/Lat. I have never got any better than 9 feet resolution where I live and it will only get you close to a waypoint not dead on. Here a link to Amazon, I would not pay the $498 price tag $275 is a fair price. Downloads into Base Camp and then you can then view in Google Earth.

i use the Garmin 62st - love it!

rugged, waterproof, clip it on my belt and go.
easy to input waypoints (finds) and download to google earth.

different models on Amazon. (camera, no camera, altimeter, no altimeter etc)

good luck!
