I have the eTrex Cx and have used in cars, on bicycles and on my bike through Europe. It has been very good with routing and finding fuel etc and you can change the settings to have the back light on permanently although this will affect your battery life quite considerably! I use the Energizer Lithium batteries, expensive but light and very good life if walking etc. I have a Touratech mount as it is damped and lockable and use a cigarette socket to mini USB to power it and it has been fine. As it uses 5volts it does need the adapter but you can use any cig/USB plug and standard lead, even the one it comes with.
Hope this late response helps!
