I can't think of a unit that doesn't support both types of coordinates
these days. Any newer Garmin, Trimble, Magellan etc will handle both.

I use an older Garmin eTrex for navigating, whether it be down a road,
through the bush or even in a helicopter. Works like a charm. For mapping
of single points I use a Trimble GeoExplorer 3.

Many thanks, time to hit the back side of the learning curve.
