I have a question about non-mapping GPS models like the fortex 301/401 or the eTrex H.

I haven't used these before, but looking through the owner's manuals for these models (fortex, eTrex H) they don't seem to show any screen shots for a mode where the device simply displays your current coordinates so you can relate your position to a map.

How easy are these units to use if you are trying to relate your current position to a map, as opposed to pre-entering your way-points before your trip? Or is that the right way to do things?
