Ok so here’s the deal. I’m looking for a hand held GPS that’s pretty cheap. I just need to be able to type in the exact coordinates of where i am going and for it to tell me how to get there or at least where it is. Now I don’t think i can have one that does that and works in the car also like normal GPS but if it does that would be AMAZING! Thanks for your help.

I wish to buy a hand held GPS to take walking, it does not need to fit on the dash of my car. Is there one that is easy to use without all sorts of complicated features I dont need just so as I dont get lost? It needs to have a long battery life and if possible not be made in China.
