According to this discussion, you can set the eTrex 20 to use grid coordinates,
Brian. I assume the Oregon 600 can do the same:

Does that do what you wanted, or is there a map reference type missing?
Regarding the Oregon being more complex, I had been wondering about that. I
know from my experience with a Blackberry phone before the iphone that buttons
are easier to use without having to watch carefully, but the Blackberry had a
lot of them, and the eTrex only has six. But I've used neither model, so I
don't know how much it matters in practice.
