yes, but like tires, you do get what you pay for. An insufficient unit will
only have to be replaced.

Re: GPS Question
 

Look at the Garmin eTrex line, there are several any many are within your
budget. Can't go wrong with any of them.

Although there are better models out there now I still use my old
Garmin eTrex Vista. Read up on the add-ons like street level/terrain etc.
as those can be $$$ on top of the basic maps.

Re: GPS Question
 

Garmin is my choice. I live up here in the PNWet also and have been quite happy with
my Etrex Legend. I just bought the unit with the pc cables and while I have the
software from a freind (topo and cities) I have not needed to use them yet. However,
I use it mostly for geocaching. I do reccomend getting a power cord for use in the
vehicle tho. I didnt get one and I regret it a lot.

By the way... send him to www.geocaching.com after you get him the GPS, that is if he
isnt familiar with it already. =)
