I'm hoping to fish some more out-of-the-way places this year. I have a
compass and fairly good, though somewhat rusty, skills with it, but I'm
thinking about adding the higher tech (i.e., simpler, lazier g) option
as well... you know, something from which, when it fails, I can fall
back on the compass.....

Just looking for basic functions: coordinates for where the hell am I,
plus simple directions to get from wherever the hell I am to a given
coordinate (preferably somewhere cozy with cold beer).

In addition to low cost, because I expect I'll be hiking in to most of
these places, compact size and light weight are important.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
