I did a search and couldn't find anything already discussed.

What handheld GPS are you guys using? I mainly want it to mark spots for duck and deer hunting, as well as where I left my boat/truck. I'm not looking for the most robust, just a middle of the road device that is waterproof.

Thanks in advance.

OnX

You already have your phone with you, just soon use it as the GPS.

We used OnX for 7 days in Colorado with no cell signal and it was perfect

HuntStand app on your phone. It’s free and doesn’t require cell service to use in the woods.

Get a Garmin... I have the 62ST that I really like but the Etrex models would probably be fine for what you are looking at.

I bought a Garmin 64ST last year with my first year hunting in the woods on my own. The external antenna is bulky but spot on finding my stand in the pitch black, in thick woods, with fog. Came with a year of their “Birdseye” subscription which lets you take snippets of maps and superimpose them on your map. Did that for all the areas I hunt and I will not lose them after the subscription ends. Definitely a great gps and easy to use.

Garmin eTrex. I don't remember which model number, but it accepts a map card. I got a topo map card for the Southeast US. It's great, shows roads, trails, creeks, bayous, borders, etc. It's an awesome tool if you hunt public land or if you're scouting a new hunting area. I can walk right to my deer stand a mile from my parking spot without the first cat eye or flagging. Nobody knows how to get there but me. It also keeps your old tracks saved in there so you can follow the same exact route if you want.
