I hope he likes it!

Since I was looking for an integrated solution, I feel that for the price, the iQue was the best deal. This was about 1.5 years ago, so there might be cheaper options today. I use it almost everyday since I travel to 7-8 different client sites during the week.

If you're going to use it in the car, the car kit is a must. It provides an amplified speaker and a cigarette charger base. I think I paid around $35 for mine from www.gpsnow.com. Garmin has a bundle with the kit included now.

Also, the built in antenna is a bit weak, so I eventually bought an external one from here:

for around $20 which improved reception greatly.
