A basic GPS receiver that has a photovoltaic charger and a "clockwork" generator built in. Needs no external power. Crank the handle for five minutes and it tells you where you are. Or just leave it in the sun (if any)*.
* Not suitable for Scotland.

So, a GPS receiver, but just add solar power? Quiet, in
Swindon, is it? |

Yes, but they're not integrated. Extra kit to lug around and get damaged or lost, fiddly cables, the works. |

I like this - the solar panel will encourage you to move out from under foliage, where the GPS doesn't work very well. |

Yes, you should never propose a concept if you can foresee that the detail design might not be done properly. |
