Subject:GPS recommendations, handheld & incar?

I need a handheld GPS for just one thing... reading latitude/longitude
and the WORLD grid to 2-3 decimal places.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have never used a GPS, though it amazes me how many redneck pickups
in Calgary have them dangling from the windshield (as many as radar
detectors do in New Zealand, it seems).

Also I guess I wouldn't mind an incar GPS as well, for the odd time I
visit other cities. Anyone have a good suggestion as to a reliable
unit with voice which tells you the street name, not just where to
turn? I would be looking at a used one at well under $200 (and I see
them offered).

garmin seems to be a name brand; I have seen a new incar one which
LOOKS and sounds good, but whoever heard of an electronics brand
called "Pierre Cardin"? I thought PC made cardigans and mobwear.
