Thanks for all the help everyone. You all had great quick responses. I think
I will go for something that does have a map but probably less of the bells and
whistles in order to balance costs.
Thanks again

They said it all, so I will throw in a few
points.
My 60CSx came with a 64meg card which I upgraded to
1 Gig, this allowed me to put a TON of maps in for the following
areas.
Ontario - TOPO & Metroguide - All of the
southern portion of Ontario from Quebec to Windsor up to Sault Saint
Marie
Quebec - TOPO & Metroguide - Western half for
trips to just beyond Montreal to Marin Heights all up to Deep River
Depot
New York - TOPO & Metroguide - All of Northern
New York
Plus
I also added a huge swath for a trip from Hamilton
to North Carolina which included runs through Pensylvania, West Virginia,
Virgina, North Carolina, Maryland and District of Columbia.
And I still had room for TOPO USA if I wanted
to add them.
This is a bonus for road trips, but most GPS's only
allow for 1000 waypoints, but there is a way around it.
Colour is so much nicer than geyscale.
With the 60 series you can turn off all the maps or
select which ones you want to avoid clutter.

Hey,
I am new to the gps crowd and I was wondering if I could ask
some questions. I see the debate here is raging over whether you should
get simple coordinates vs the map with bells and whistles. I am a bit
more interested in getting some sort of map reading but I have a few
questions. Is there a huge difference between the greyscale maps and the
colour ones? A lot of these devices also note that they come with an
American map (+ north america) are Canadian cities such as Kingston well
represented? And the final question is do I go with the say 8 or 32 megs
of build in memory vs the replaceable memory cards. How large an area
can i fit on 8 megs? if i want to switch maps from my computer is it easy?
Thanks for the help
