I've always bought Garmin's. I started out with a GPS III, GPS V, and a GPSmap 60CS. I now have a Garmin StreetPilot 2730 for the car.
The 2730 is a dedicated vehicle whereas all the others are handhelds with mounting brackets for everything. I use my 60CS on my ATV as well.
If I'm exploring new territory and want to see where I'm at on the map after I get home, I use my 60CS and "mark" any location I want to see on the map later. You can input the GPS coordinates you stored into Google Maps and see a map as well as a satellite view. Cool stuff!
Any GPS will give you coordinates, but the map software is what seperates the good from the not-so-good.
