I have a Garmin eTrex Venture HC. It's great for the price-- it has a sensitive receiver and WAAS. Just remember to enable the WAAS.

 

It doesn't come with the USA topo map. You'd have to buy it (for 100+ bucks) or download free maps, which are available on the web.

I recently got a grant to order 6 GPS units, and i'm looking at this one.

 

Are these capable of taking waypoint files (.gpx or .loc) from a computer to load the waypoints, or do they have to be entered in manually?

Garmin's MapSource software (it comes free with each unit) can open those files and load the waypoints to the unit. No need to do it manually.
