Garmin make the eTrek series of handheld GPS units.
The Legend is their midrange unit and it got great reviews at Amazon and is now on sale for $105: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-eTrex-Legen..._1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1196432853&sr=8-1
The belt case is only an additional $10
You can load it up with Garmin's detailed maps for an additional $60 and it should cover NYC in minute detail.
I just bought one for my wife to use instead of a pedometer. She has two pedometers and she's always compalining that they are never accurate. I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
OR...buy him a Blackberry and install Google Maps.
One-time price for the Garmin or monthly cost for the Blackberry, but it does so much more.
