Any thoughts on options for getting a GPS that works well both in the car as it would on the trail?
Best GPS for hiking/road

Sorry, didn't want to search much, you never seem to find exactly what you're looking for.
Also I sorta need to clarify the term trail, I meant foot/hiking trail.
I'll look at the options posted here and more.
Thanks.

I have a Garmin Legend HCX.
Color screen and hand held. It has the track feature. Dots are left that mark the path you took. You can then upload the dots to your map source software and load it into Google Earth so you can see exactly where you were.
It also have on road nav features, shopping, dining, gas, and much more. It has auto correct and will recalculate your route if you take a wrong turn.
It's also water proof.

Still like my Nuvi 500
I can't comment on what is the best unit, but I can say that I'm real happy with my Garmin Nuvi 500 -
There is some info on this in these threads -

Have fun making a decision. It's not easy with all the options out there.

The new DeLorme PN-40 has done a good job at meeting the dual needs of in vehicle and out of vehicle weather it be on foot, bike or boat.
Most importantly it has a new faster processor which allows the PN-40 to be more responsive than the PN-20.
It is not the largest screen for in-vehicle nave but it serves well as a dual purpose gps unit.
