My 2 pence if I may. There are many choices out there including second hand units but at a risk-
For a modern unit which should serve you a long long time, have a look at Garmin's Etrex 10- Part Number: 010-00970-00 specs here
A nice simple unit, rugged, waterproof, with twin gps and glonass receiver.
It does not have micro sd card facility, nor maps aside (from a pretty useless basemap), nor any internal memory. For £99 it is a good deal remembering that it very limited in its capability- Only you can decide if these are enough.
But for the little extra- I'd chose the Etrex 20- specs here as it offers micro sd capability so you could load Olaf's free Morocco map on there ( ands others like OSM etc) and 1.7GB internal storage capabilitity for maps/waypoints etc.
Don't underestimate the usefulness of some useable memory and ability to add maps and other data files.
