I bought mine on ebay a blue one. I find that it will go ~8 hours on Ni-MH batteries if I set the etrex to alkaline.

I've really never had a problem loosing signal. I bought one of those "sticky but not sticky pads" from Cracker Barrel, of all places for $5.00. Toss it on the dash and put the GPS on it an it'll hang tight with your average "let's see how this rental car takes this exit" driving
