My Garmin GPSMap76CSx runs on 2 AA batteries, so no problem there. It is about the size of a 10 year old cel phone though, so not a UL item. Got it used cheap, so can't complain a bit. Found it on Craigslist.

Bill, look here for maps-

The site has forums and I got some very helpful info from some of the regulars who are very knowledgable. Not sure if any maps are available for where you are, but they have a directory of maps. Some of these might cover your neighborhood.

I got a map for California and was able to load up a few sectors of it using some software I got from Garmin on their website. I got a new computer so I need to find it again.
