  1. As I've said in a previous thread, I would consider Garmin Zumo 550. This GPSr is designed for motorcycle use and is therefore somewhat more robust (and fully waterproof) than those units that are designed for in-car use. However, it does come with a windscreen mount and power cable for in-car use. Unlike the hand-helds, it will talk to you, tell you street names and covers most of Western and Northern Europe. It works pretty well outside the car too - it has a "compass view" in off-road mode that shows the direction and distance to the destination. Using some GSAK and some excellent macros enable pretty much completely paperless caching. The unit is somewhat bigger than the handhelds and the battery lasts for about 4 hours - these were the two reasons why I got myself an Oregon - but only after finding over 500 caches with the Zumo.
  2. I would suggest Garmin Zumo 550. Zumo is essentially the same unit as Nuvi, but it is specifically designed for motorcycles. As such, it is a bit more rugged than the Nuvis. Although the unit is designed for motorbikers, it comes with a car mount and works very well as an in-car Sat Nav. If you then arm yourself with premium membership and GSAK, you've got an almost perfect solution for paperless caching. I've found over 500 caches using mine, and only bought a handheld unit to tackle walks that take more than 4-6 hours (the battery life in my Zumo). Happy caching.
