Details here, I don't think its the hand held variety but better to
check and be safe.

Cut and paste this link into your browser rather than click on it to
reduce the risk of landing somewhere nasty.

These are from what Garmin call their "On the Road" line. Basically the
car navigation units.
Which are handheld (and I'm using a 205 as replacement of my eTrex),
but are probably not what you mean with handheld, Garmins "On the Trail"
line.

This is Garmins press release:
