T,
The best garmin handhelds are the 62series, especially for older guys.
They have buttons that LRX them navigate easier.

I had the old 62Csx for about 5 years and I've seen some say it's the gold standard for GPS'. It was a great GPS and I was very happy with it. When I sold it to upgrade, I almost went with the new version, but went with the Montana and have been more than happy with it. The only downside is it is large, but the large screen is nice and I have to admit, the touchscreen beats buttons any day, esp when entering names of waypoints.
