[QUOTE="condor22, post: 118853, member: 1932"] If the Garmin handhelds come with any mapping such as the Etrex Legend B&W I bought many years ago, it was a "base map", little detail. The E20 I got as part of my GPX5000 last year came with bugger all, so I bought the Garmin Topo map on a micro SD card, it is reasonably detailed, and works well. The way I looked at it, I got a free GPS and paid for the maps. Some people will advocate one brand over another, I guess I'm no different, so If you are looking for a GPS get a Garmin or a Garmin or a Garmin :) I spent 30yrs with the military, it was the only GPS I ever saw or used. The model depends on what you spend, what you need it for and if you are willing to buy extra maps. [/QUOTE]
