I've used mine every time I go anywhere interesting. Mountain biking Black forest, Alsace mountains, round the lake. Allows you to mark points of interest.
They can be used in the car, hiking or snowboarding as well as cycling. Its one of those gadget that I bought on impulse and have used
far more than I anticipated at the time, unlike my PDA and smartphone.....
Garmin and Magellen are two good brands. Watch out for the cost of the maps though, they can be an extra 160EUR if they are not included with the unit.

mine's also not a navigation model - it's more for tracking, etc
If he likes gadgets then it might just do the trick though... | |
