I have one of these and it has been great for my deer hunting and short backpacking treks.
Yes, the basemap will meet your needs.....for now.
The maps here are absolutely fantastic! Find the one for your area and download it. Very simple. Even though you only have 24mb of storage, using the map tool in Map Source, I was able to load enough map segments from the Michigan Topo here to get me 400 miles north to the Upper Peninsula. When I trekked beyond those maps, the base map kicked in.
That depends. I now have a 60CSx and the features included are great. However, I still use my Venture HC for deerhunting and frogging through the Michigan woods and forests. It does all I need it to do.
That said, let me warn you......once she's been "bitten" by the fun of playing with a GPSr, you will have several more options for her upcoming birthday gifts.
This site has all the best stuff on the Internet for your pleasure in the great outdoors. Have fun!
