    Shaun, What do you consider cheap? Cabela"s has one at http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...350&hasJS=true
    Is that what you are looking for? I don't know what anyone else will have to say about this unit, but I'm sure there are some that have used it or something a little better.

    Shaun,
    Target has the Garmin etrex that GAW posted for $79.99 and it's a great little unit. I've had 2 of them, thought one of them got stolen when my truck was broke into so bought another. They work great and are small enough to put just about anywhere.

    I agree with Cas, the E-Trex is a nice unit. It has a max speed recall too. Many other inexpensive ones don't have this feature.

    I've got the etrex and I zip tie it to the steering wheel. When I was at the races in bakersfield it was within 0.3 mph of the clocks on the course. I think that is good enough for me.

    I Like the color. I guess I'll check at Target and see if I can get one that will make my boat do 129 MPH.
    Is this the same one?
