I bought my fist GPSR in 1997, it was an Eagle Explorer. Cost was just unter $100.00. It ate through 4 AA batteries in a matter of about 4 hours, better longevity with E2 Lithium's when they came out. Accuracy was about 20 meters, and if you stayed in one place for any length of time you could see your trail drift around on the screen. No mapping capabilities, it just read out where you were, and had a screen that could track your path and display any waypoints that you had to manualy enter. Trees or heavy cloud cover really degraded the accuracy as you lost sight of satelites and when walking you pretty much had to carry it in front of you as a divining rod as it would not work if you carried it in your hand and walked normally. Most of my finds to date were with this unit, I have recently upgraded to a Garmin. Eagle Explorer Owners Manual 1996

So, TLA is not really a three letter acronym for "three letter acronym"?
