I believe just about any hand held GPS can do that. I have one from the 1990's that can record the GPS coordinates whenever I tell it to. Even some cell phones can do that. The newer ones can record the route you take and plug it into Google Earth and mark the route on a map.

I hear this is a good one; http://www.bestbuy.com/site/garmin-gpsmap-64-2-6-handheld-gps-yellow/5408439.p?skuId=5408439

I bit the bullet &  purchased a Garman Oregon 60 & it will do everything & even more than you could imagine. And the reverse track will allow you go back over the same track no matter how old it is.  :WEEEE:
