I have a delorme PN-20. It will do on road directions, but nowhere near as well as a tom-tom or similar. Its works best when you create routes on a PC and send them to the unit.

Great off-road detai, however, and you can send satellite photos, topoquads to it etc. For on road it is fine for a long trip with a pre made map, but very hard to enter an address, find it, and route you to it. I think there really is not unit that does both well at this point
