GPS Advice

I am looking at purchasing a GPS , have always been a map and compass guy.
I would appreciate any help I can get picking out the best one for my needs.

I don't need all the bells and whistles, just want a basic point to point model.
The most important qualities that I am looking for are:

1 - quick and reliable reception of satellites under a canopy or on a cloudy day.

2 - accuracy

3 - Ease of use

I would like to spend $300 or less if possible.

Thanks for any help you may offer.
