I would not recommend for car use although great for off-road and hiking. This very portable GPS has been great for me. I use it mainly for geocaching and tracking my hikes. It comes with a basic map (pretty useless) installed and you can buy or download more detailed maps.

You can create routes and save them or use the course that you just took to mark and find your way back. For geocaching this is an excellent tool and has been way worth the money I paid. I will not be replacing this GPS unit for a good number of years. ... Read review

...This is the base model Garmin that has mapping capabilities so at around 120 dollars it is the cheapest way to get started in whatever your new endeavor is. The casing is blue and black so while walking through the woods it does not make you stand out to the people on the trails. The black grips on the side are perfect, when out on the water fishing, to grip onto so you do not drop this unit. In the event you do slip and drop the unit it comes with ...
...it is waterproof so there are no worries about ruining it in the water..in fact I frequently rinse it off in the nearby rivers. The only thing I would recommend is that you do not purchase the carrying case as it covers the internal antenna blocking signal to the unit. I hope this helps. ... Read review
