bare bones gps+compass recommendations?

| hi,
I need a GPS and electronic compass that can connect to a computer
(via USB or serial port). I don't need mapping software, calendar,
waypoints etc. Something very basic will do. I want to keep the price
down. The cheapest I've found so far is the Garmin Geko 301 for $246.
Can anyone recommend something else?
thanks,
Jon

Take a look at the Lowrance iFinder line. I think they give you the most
bang for your buck.

I don't remember the name of it, but there was a small GPS device that you
can connect to computer and it costs around $25-30 or so. I saw it few
years ago

MS Streets & Trips would work (about $100 with a GPS receiver IIRC). The
'08 version should be out in three weeks or so.
