Wondered if anyone could advise me on which GPS to go for to help with navigation off trail in the South West as although I've used a GPS once I've never owned one or downloaded a map on to one, so I'm pretty ignorant about them
I was thinking the Garmin Oregon 650. From what I can make out I would then have to pay extra separately for any 1:24,000 topo maps as I don't think you can get them bundles with the GPS even in an extra reduced total cost package deal. (I think the 650t comes with a 1:100,000 USA map)
The only other slight complication is that I live in the UK althougjh I would not need it for use in Europe. I guess I'm ok to buy any Oregon 650 here and buy the U.S. maps for it, or I may be in the US this year, so would I be better off buying it it there.
