I use the Garmin Quest, if you need something that can work out of the car as well, it would be my recommendation.
It has buttons rather than a touch screen, which I find is easier to use (fingerprints all over the screen also make those touch screen units dicey when the sun is shining on them)
The Quest (and Quest 2) are also able to function using the internal battery outside the car, for I believe eight hours, though I've never used it outside the car for more than an hour.
The GPS part is as accurate as you can get in that price class, the map software that you use with any GPS being its weakest link IMO.
As to how it looks in the car? Meh, not great, but I'd rather have accurate and ugly versus pretty and wrong in my GPS solution ;)
