I know nothing about GPS devices and have never used one before. That's better, now I've got that off my chest.
Please help. I'm looking for recommendations for a handheld GPS device that can give me decimal co-ordinates to the nearest metre anywhere in the UK. I don't need any mapping, or fitness services. Altitude information would be useful but not essential. The device needs to be very easy to use, rechargeable with a good battery life and waterproof.
I need to gather GPS data on the locations of sewer manhole covers, and with my non-expert head on, I imagine standing on top of a manhole holding one of these devices and it giving me the Eastings and Northings that I require, in a decimal format to 1m accuracy.
This is for an industrial application, not leisure, and we would most likely need maybe 10 of these for our engineering crews.

Is such a device available on the open market?
Thanks in advance.
