The Black eneloop NiMH lasts a lot longer than any alkaline in my gps and still operates perfectly well below zero temps. For best value and function, just get the black eneloop ones. Other rechargeable types don't do to well in the cold. The last thing I wanted to do was lug around a pile of spare batteries for the gps, so I went thru testing many brands in the field.

Yes. The Garmin GPS's have been designed to run on rechargeable cells.
