Default Christmas is coming...what's your dream GPS?

As the title says, Christmas is coming, what GPS do you wish you could have of all the ones out there? My Bday is soon afterward, so I usually pool my funds and get a nice toy. I am leaning heavily into a GPS for the Sportsman for when I go riding up north in WI, the U.P., Canada as well as road trips out west in the future.

I have been researching the Garmin Oregon 400t. Regardless of which one I end up getting, I'd like to plug it into my little AC plug so I can always have it at full screen brightness...

Looking for any and all opinions and suggestions! Thanks!

My dream GPS wud be more user friendly with less bells & whistles, brighter screen, less color, & instructions that weren't written by an engineer.

It has a lot of bells and whistles but very easy to use Garmin Nuvi 800 series just tell it where you want to go and it takes you there.

Second vote for Garmin Nuvi 500. Road GPS and topographic maps too. Great combo, pretty user friendly, and has the 12v adaptor for plugging into the quad. I've had one for a couple months now and love it.

Is the Nuvi 500 one of those outdoor weather proof units with the shock proof style housing???
I am thinking of getting a Garmin but I know squat about them things.

OK,I brightened up and did a google search and found this one.
I thought the 2 way radio would be handy in case I got lost.ROTFLMAO
The only down side I can see about it and I am not sure yet,but I do`nt think there is a slot for a memory card.
