Am having a difficult time deciding which hand held GPS to buy, I want one that will tell me my elevation and give rate of ascent and a gradient profile. Have been looking at the Garmin Geko 301 and eTrex summit. There is no review of the 301 on this site, so was wondering if anyone out there has used one.

Which of these 2 models would anyone reccomend or maybe a different model?

I dont want to spend more than £200.

A last question... was going to buy online at the GPS warehouse has anyone used this company and if so were they satisfied?

Thanks very much in advance!

Gillie, you have to be a bit careful with regards to elevation because elvation is never 100% accurate, sometimes it can be quite a way off.



GPSW are a very good company to buy from. £200 isn't a lot though for a handheld GPS.



If you're looking for elevation/altitude then you'll need a GPS with altimeter. That narrows you down in the Garmin field to an eTrex Summit around £143 and a Geko 301 for around £165.
