In the car that monochrome display will be hard to see. Not to mention that it's small (screen viewing) and will not get reception if you take it out of your windshield areas to look at it (you need unobstructed line of sight with satellites). For hiking, on the other hand, it would probably be great since it is compact and lightweight. The nice thing about the GPSMAP is that the external antenna helps reception.

I did look at e-trex, but decided on the one I got. Just my .02.
