I’ve had several Garmin GPS units which I used mostly for hiking and offroad navigation — for the most part Garmin has kept offroad and onroad units separate, you could have one or the other but not both feature sets in a single unit. My 60csx is an exception, it was the first unit I had that also included on road routing and I quickly became addicted to it. But the 60csx’s screen is small and not terribly bright and it doesn’t talk, so it’s not great to use on the road unless you have a passenger to relay along the information. And it doesn’t know anything about traffic, which I’ve been dealing with a lot recently. So I decided to try a nuvi — I saw the 780 on sale and went with that. For the most part I’ve been quite happy with it — it’s not perfect, but it’s a big improvement.
