NitroX,

I haven't tried it myself but if you want nice and light and small in a GPS have you considered a Suunto X9 "wrist computer" which is basically a wristwatch with a GPS and software to allow plotting of points etc on your home computer or laptop? Not likely that you would find a smaller and lighter one. It does use a lot of electricity as do all GPS systems but this wristwatch is rechargeable with the cigarette lighter in your car.

I don't know how well it works, have wanted to see one to try myself for several months now, and before buying one would ask a lot of questions, but if it works well it should be fairly desireable.

Richard.

PS, most pilots I know who have a handheld GPS are packing a Garmin 290. RGP
