Basic handheld in India

I have a 10 day trip to India - Calcutta. My hotel is a small
backstreet place and by no means a big well known chain hotel that
every taxi driver will be able to find. I've just spent a few hours
looking in to gps mapping solutions which will only lead to purchasing
expensive maps from Indian suppliers for only 10 days use.

All I really need is the ability to find my way back to the hotel when
on foot. Paper maps are useless in India as street name signs are
mostly non existent. So I was wondering if something like a Garmin
60CSx or Etrex Vista, once programmed with the hotel location, will
point me in the right direction, say compass style? I know there are
cheaper more basic models but these are ones I want to use elsewhere.

Well for a fact, a handheld GPS won't help you any more.

Why not? it will be more helpful than a streetmap when the street names
arne't known...
