Cain et al,
In lieu of a GPS, I just picked up the slickest gadget. It's a Suunto Vector "wrist-top computer" (they call it). It's just a digital wristwatch . . . with an attitude. In addition to all the normal watch functions, it includes an altimeter (which will also track your rate of ascent/descent while hiking or climbing), barometer/thermometer (which tracks air pressure and shows a trend line for guesstimating weather changes), and (drumroll, please), a COMPASS! Normally run around $200, but I got mine on sale for $144! Too cool, if you ask me.
