I am looking for a GPS that either has an internal rechargeable battery or can itself recharge suitable batteries. I do not need a mapping capability and something like a Garmin Foretrex 401 (that I currently have) would be ideal. Garmin used to make one (the Foretrex 201) but no longer do.

I'd be looking at carrying a solar charger for extended hikes and prefer this option over batteries (for weight, cost, and environmental reasons).

Any thoughts?

The Garmin ForeTrex 301/401 works just fine with NiMH rechargeable batteries. It is all I use in mine. Also AAA/AA solar recharging is easier than Li. I use a PowerChimp with a solar panel.

Great idea! Thanks! It is a situation where I can spend an amount of money, or accept a 20g penalty for the powerchimp. If I cannot handle 20g I think something is wrong!
