15+ hour Battery LifeDon't run out of juice on a long hike. Longer battery life is more important for handheld GPS devices. Under 9 Hour Battery LifeIf you take long hikes make sure the battery in your GPS will go the distance. 3 Hour Battery LifeIf you're going to always plug it into the car, battery life is not a big issue.  
5" Screen4.3 is mainstream but larger screens in the car can be easier to see and safer to use. 4.3" Screen4.3-inches in a widescreen is a good display size that fits on the dash but can be easily read. 3.5" ScreenIf your directions are spoken screen size is less important Smaller than 3.5" Screen on Auto GPSUnless it's a handheld, small screens can be hard to see
