GPS recommendation for trail and street? (1 Viewer)

Is there an issue with Delorme whether you use a mac or PC?

I have a Colorado 400T (not worth what most are asking for it) and a Nuvi 205. You can upload free topos to most of the garmin units (including the two that I have) from gpsfiledepot.com. The topos on there are far superior to any that I have seen coming from Garmin. I spent a few weeks in Idaho with the 400T and was shocked at the detail those maps had, I mean every Paved Road, Graveled road Dirt Road and Goat trail was on the map. I short I would highly recommend the Garmin because of the Free maps and support (not the Garmin support though). The 60CSx is probably the best handheld on the market the only drawback is the screen size. The Nuvi are great for the car. The Oregon and Colorado are real pains to deal with if you try and make them do what the don't want to (I.E. make your own maps and upload them to the GPS).

yes, have set up some topo maps from gpsfiledepot as well. Neat.

I have been pleased with the capabilities of the Garmin Nuvi 500. It also has a marine function and the maps that come installed are pretty decent. Considering for a little over $200 you walk out of the store with a unit all set up and ready to go. It comes with the car adapter and the mounting hardware.
