I'm looking to buy a new Gps to use as an all around unit. I have been eyeing the garmin Oregon 450. From what I have seen the maps are terrible and require an upgrade to 24K almost immediately. Anyone have experience with this unit? It will be primarily for hunting but maybe some hiking too. Also curious about the Birdseye option, I like using google maps and this sounds fairly similar.

As for maps I'm thinking about going with the hunting gps maps that show PLAT info and land ownership. They are 24K topo maps and seem to have strong reveiws. Only drawback with them is they are ~$100/ state.

I found a guy on Craigslist that claims to sell 11 western states for $160. Does that seem fishy to anyone? I would really like his map package but don't really want to be contributing to some illegal shady activity.

If you have other ideas I would love to hear them. I'm pretty new to the GPS world so a lot is new to me. Thanks
