Handheld GPS????

My father is looking to buy a handheld GPS for hunting and traveling, any suggestions on which brand/model would be good for this?

My brother the Mapping King recommends the Garmin Etrex Legend for value. The only thing is it could use more memory. One quadrangle is more data than it can store..

Boaters World has the Garmin WAAS GPSMap76 (Black & white) on sale through the end of Sept for $200. Not familiar with the unit, but looks like a good deal
