I have a Garmin 255W Nuvi for the Jeep and a Magellan explorist GC for geocaching.

Haha, I drove that the first time without a map or GPS and just a guide book, thankfully there were a ton of people out there to direct me - I never leave home without my GPS after that!

I have an iPhone and use North American Copilot, it was around $30.

For on the road performance, It is as good, if not better, as a TomTom system I have used in the past and Garmin system I have used in the past. I've used it all over the Southeast, Texas and on a trip to Oregon. It has been temperamental a few times, but a shut down and restart get it going again. Think that is more of the iPhone than anything else.

Still trying to find an App for the topo stuff.
