If you go with a Magellan, I might add that it made no sense to me to pay for the larger built in database of the Meridian Gold or Platinum if I was going to buy the map software which has greater detail then the built in databases anyway. I've got all of Utah, Idaho, and the western half of Wyoming on a 64M SD card and I haven't even used up half of it yet. I also did not need/want the barometer and electronic compass of the Platinum. An electronic compass is an expensive feature, yet you can take two steps with a GPS receiver that doesn't have an electronic compass and it will tell you exactly which direction you just walked.
