    Pros: Ease to use, great display, turn by turn directions.
    Cons: None. Maybe external data card?

    Pros: Color, Memory, Garmin Quality, USB interface, Automatic routing to destination
    Cons: expensive (but worth it)

    Cons: But do you know for sure how well?

    Summary: Back in my more naive days, I once went ahead with the purchase of a Garmin GPSMAP 76CS Receiver. Because I could be called a bit of a spelunker, and I frequently make global treks, I figured a global device like this was right up my alley. I was ... read more

    Pros: large screen, full-featured, lots of memory
