My personal favourite, Garmin 550: built for battle, touchscreen interface, georeferenced photos which you can use the photos as Go To points.
I found it tricky to get the compass direction of downloaded photos, only Graphic Converter did the trick for me (on a Mac) | Some helpful online GPS tools
- GPS Coordinate Converter, Maps and Info
Enter Coordinates, get output in different units and location on Google map.

- GPS Visualizer
GPS Visualizer is a free utility that creates customizable maps and profiles
from GPS data (tracklogs & waypoints), addresses, or coordinates, also from GPS data embedded in photos.

- Latitude and Longitude of a Point
Find the latitude and longitude of a point using Google Maps.

- Geographic/UTM Coordinate Converter
You can convert between geographic coordinates and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates using this form.

- Draft Logic: Google Maps Distance Calculator
This tool allows you to calculate distance between points on a google map and total route length
- To draw a circle of desired radius around a point in Google Maps or Google Earth, substitute your desired Lat and Long and Radius in this statement:
http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/circle.kml.php?radius=50km&lat=44.645605&long=-63.579125geomColor=ffffffff
amd enter it in the search line for Google Maps.
Alternatively, paste it into the URL (navigation) box of your browser and it will download a file named circle.kml which can be oped in Google Earth.
Example: The unmodified statement above generates a circle of 50 km radius with downtown Halifax as the centre (my arbitrarily defined bioregion).
See map.
