Maybe a Map60Sx?  Smaller than the 76 series, just as sensitive, and also 
submersible.  Down side:  won't float.  I've been using a Map60C for three 
years and really love it, but under trees, it has trouble maintaining 
contact with satellites.  For hiking, the -x variants are supposedly much 
better.
