What is the least expensive GPS receiver that will reliably tell me my latitude, longitude, and which way is north?
Same question, but to include an altimeter and a clock.
This would be for use hiking and hunting in the NW US.
Thanks.

Hi,
The cheapest model that will give you your coordinates and a compass feature is the Garmin eTrex H. The compass on this unit reads from the satellites, so you must be walking for the compass reading to update.
To update to an electronic compass (updates as you turn it) and the altimiter/barometer, go with the Garmin etrex Summit HC.
