Default GPS for Moab?

What GPS do you guys and/or gals, use on the trails at Moab?

Will I have to get some sort of download maps, or just enter the way points from the Well's Guide to Moab, Ut backroads & 4-wheel drive trails book ( I already have this) ?

I have used ones for over the road, but not for off road or hiking, so don't have a very good clue what to look for.

Thanks for any and all help!

I use a Garmin Oregon 400t and have been very happy with it. It came preloaded with decent maps of the US, but I also bought the Garmin Southwest DVD with more detailed maps and loaded them onto the Oregon as well.

I have a bunch of tracks from Moab here:

I had the same question albeit not just for Moab.... Does the Oregon 400t also do City Navigation or just Trails only?

PS: Thanks for the website with the tracks Bookmarked that for future use; I'll be vacationing in Colorado later this year - July, and some of those tracks would come in handy there

With the additional maps I installed (Southwest) the Oregon will route on roads and trails.
