Youth Groups - GPS at the Outdoor Centre

Hi
I am involved in an outdoor centre and think it would be a good idea to introduce young people to GPS and may be geocaching.

We were think of purchasing 4-6 number GPS units.
They are likely to be quite basic ones due to the cost involved what do you suggest??

:D

I would think a basic Etrex (yellow) would do the job nicely.
Still just under £100.00 due to on-going popularity but might you get educational discount from one of the sponsored advertisers here for example?
Browse through ebay too to get an idea.

Good luck.

I would suggest the eTrex, or even the Geko's. These are nice and small and great for youngsters.
