GPS for DAD

[PCFrog]

My dad, who is not to tech savvy, wants to get a GPS unit for his car that is also portable. Since I have looked at very few of these I was wanting an opinion from the group which item they think will meet the following criteria.

Easy to learn
Easy to carry and put in the car
Auto routing
Allows user to enter Long & Lat manually
Can show the user the Long & Lat of their location
Runs on regular batteries – Meaning does not take some special lithium battery you have to keep charged

Possible extras that would be a bonus:
Some type of SD or MC slot
Auto routing – with audio

Please give your input and little explanation of the unit your suggesting.

Thanks…

The difficult part will be to find one that’s easy to use, and one that lets you input your own coords.

I had my Father use my Garmin c330 a couple of times now. He’s 76 and still can’t figure out caller ID, or how cell phones can work outside of your house. But, he can use the Garmin quite easily.

You can put in your own waypoints, called POI’s, but it will not show you any coords.
