very basic GPS device

Hi I really like working with UK OS maps and Ive discovered I can find my way to within 10 metres of a cache -not quite accurate enough in some situations! Takes me ages to spot the stash. I would still like to use my maps but it would be good to have a simple device that would give me lat. and long co-ordinates when Ive got as close as I can get with the map. Also I think I would like to create caches sometime in the future so I will need to be able to list the co ordinates of anything I create.

I don't want apps and maps and all the rest of it (or a smartphone)

So does anyone know of a device that doesn't need internet and simply gives me my position?

Thanks

-Terence

As stated, the lowest model will work fine. Magellan 110 has a list price of $130. It has a color screen. Garmin has the eTrex 10. List price $110. Monochromatic. You can also look on Ebay for used ones. Or look at any local buy/sell website. Just because a unit is a few years old does not mean it will be less accurate.

Thanks JoesBar reckon I will go for a garmin etrex 10 as I don't mind the monochrome and the concensus seems to be that it will do the job
