Not wishing to divert the thread before it gets started (and I know what it's like when you've decided to go one way and someone suggests another!), but you might find you don't need a GPS device for Morocco. I used my Gamin 550 all the way down through France and Spain, and found it very liberating (and not at all difficult) to only use a paper map whilst in Morocco. It was my first time there, and I must admit I was rather apprehensive! When going anywhere, I found it extremely easy to navigate - often it was just one road to wherever! Even I couldn't get lost! The only time it would have been useful was when in a city (and you may very well want to stay clear of these anyway!). On these occasions, I just asked people for directions. Often, men on scooters would 'rush' up to me where I wanted to go; sometimes I just followed their help. One very memorable time, some guys were hanging off a truck. I shouted, pointing in a direction and asked "Marrakech?". The guy smiles and shouts back, with a few very clear gestures the way to go. Brilliant.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is you might not need one.  this is the simplest option!
