I don't think that unit has an internal battery which means you cannot use it unless it is plugged in...no walking with it, etc..

yea i read that. its okay, i dont think my parents would ever need to travel by foot to find a location.. the gps will most likely remain in the car.

Just ran across this just in case you're still looking.

I don't have any of these. I have the Alpine Blackbird from 2 years ago but can't recommend it mostly because of price. You're basically just paying for the name.
