Default Hunting gps

I am looking for a new gps between 200-400$. I will be using it mainly for marking points while scouting and potentially marking the truck up north in the thick bush. I am just wondering what ones are your favorites out there. It is also important to me that the gps has a good signal and proper tracking ability in the thick brush and low valleys. Thank you for your help in advance!

You might get some Mapping Software for your computer as well

I currently have the cheaper etrex 10. Base model but I havn't had any problems with it yet. Marks my points so that is the main thing for me.
