Re: Off-road ish car GPS
I have the Garmin Oregon 450t and I added Garmin City Navigator to it for an additional $100. Combined with Garmin's MapSource software, I find it works pretty good, though the screen is not large. For example, if I am headed to one of the trails in the Massey book, I can make waypoints in MapSource from the supplied GPS coordinates then make a route and load it into the navigator. In the van, I touch Where To > Route > My Route and the City Navigator guides me to the starting point along city streets. The in-town navigation is not as good as my Garmin Nuvi 765, so I usually use that until I am close to the route, then switch to the Oregon.
I find the Oregon great for hiking and also for geocaching. I am amazed at how many of the remote places I have been that are lousy with geocaches!
