You Can't go wrong with a garmin gps map 75 (i have this model and love it) it doubles for my jeeps speedometer :D. Mapping is accurate, and it is an older model....so it should be cheap.

lol, my speedo died and was thinking about this as a solution. Unfortunately it would only be a bandaid solution because the car wont pass the inspection without a proper speedometer! :D

I'm worried that the speedo gear in the gearbox is worn, and that's a lot of work, probably more expensive than the GPS unit :(

garmin etrex "H" series work well in heavy canopy (hiking)

and they allow you to leave breadcrumbs to find your way back, these breadcrumbs cannot be eaten by birds

I would go with Garmin that's what everyone I know has and I have yet to hear something bad from them.
