I have just recently been using one for the vehicle to find addresses to hook up satellite tv. What a lifesaver and now reasonably priced. Ive had an e-trex for years but it has no maps or roads in it and is only good to find a waypoint youve already punched in. Excellent for hunting for sure. I think one with maps/roads etc would be a welcome addition in a mobile get home bag. I do have a backup compass and maps of the areas I travel but unless your following a road its not gonna be so easy to find your way back, and they work on battery power for a while. However if the GPS sat goes out in the caos its useless.
