best Garmin you can afford, or want to pay for. you want a GPS, get a GPS not an adapted toy.

A new iPhone with GPS uses satelites just like a regular GPS stand alone.
With it you can have dozens of specialized apps for whatever needs you have.
You also get a decent pocket camera.

I would never depend or expect Waze or any other 'live' GPS to do the same, although I run Waze in the background, my primary resident GPS (all data on board) is Navigon. If you have a smartphone, look at the real GPS apps and decide. My trusty Garmin still travels in the flight bag but I haven't pulled it out in two years since using Navigon on the iPhone

My purchase was because I didn't expect cell service in the area. (I will be using the GPS for other things too!) Satellites seem more dependable!

Waze works great when you have spare data for the month and cell phone signal. Dedicated GPS has its advantage. Go for something with more than one million points of interest.

I have here on my desk a Garmin 64st that I just received last week. I had to locate a lot in the desert, and it did the job. Got it from Amazon! I just ordered the mounting bracket a couple of hours ago, so I can attach it to my ATV.
