Default Best GPS to use

Hello. I was just wondering what GPS model and brand is the most used on this forum for trail riding? I have been looking at the GArmin Nuvi lines of GPS's but am not sure if thats what I should be looking at. I want one that will allow me to use it in the car for North American roads but also one that will help pinpoint my location while riding the trails in the woods. Any help is appreciated. Jaysyn

How about a NUvi 750? Can you get topo info on any of the Garmins?

I dont believe the Nuvi 750 is waterproof or recomended for offroad.
Nuvi 500 is and so is the Zumos but you will need to add topos

I use a garmin 60cx .. I love it!! Great GPS, takes a beating and works great even with thick tree coverage! I hard-wired it into the battery so I don't need AA batteries
