I just got an Oregon 450 which works very very well compared to my old Magellan unit. It isn't cheap though. I would just say don't buy a Magellan gps, they have terrible support, and their gps unit firmware is buggy and you get bad battery life. Bottom line: stay away from Magellan!!

Cheaper and you tend to start losing a lot for not that much money saving, more expensive and your jumping up to things like touch screen and latest/fashionable plastic case. The Legend is also so durable for the odd accidental drop. I generally agree with what is said in this review, and it breaks down Garmin's naming convention http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/shine/gps-recommendations/ <http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/shine/gps-recommendations/>You tend to save by buying online, somewhere like amazon, than buying in the shop (although that might not be so much in North America).
