The base map in the memory of most handhelds is such a large scale as to be mostly worthless. To me bells and whistles just make the main function harder to use. Almost all models are way better than the first generation equipment, they catch the satellites faster and have less problem with trees, and they use way less power. What you need is something that will mark a position and then take you back to it. Even the old machines would take you back close enough to let you find your vehicle or dead deer, the newer ones are just about good enough to take you to a particular underwater tree for fishing. They aren't quite that good yet, but they are getting close.
