Honestly, I am aware that the DeLorme unit is more expensive, but I have narrowed my choices to these...I am willing to pay more for the Delorme given that an unlimited maps subscription is $30 for a year, where the garmin maps are over $100 a pop...if it's a decent unit (as good as or better than the Garmin). It's not an apples to apples comparison, but I am looking for input on people who have used these units (and I am leaning towards the DeLorme I think, now).

Alright guys, I know there are a LOT of these "which GPSR should I get" questions, but I have narrowed my choices down to these two and am looking for thoughts. I have a Nuvi 200w in my car, so I don't really need on-road navigation capabilities. I want to use a handheld unit for hiking and geocaching. I live in the mountains, so the ability to keep a satellite connection in the mountains and in dense trees is my highest priority. I want color, mapping, altimeter, all the bells and whistles (I am a bit of a gadget hound) without spending 6 or 7 hundred dollars. Both units get good reviews; I like the fact that DeLorme offers a very affordable subscription map offer, but I like the interface and functionality of the Garmin I already have. I am most concerned about the sensitivity of the receiver to be able to get and keep a signal in wooded mountain areas, and I have heard that the Garmin is great for that. The DeLorme is about a hundred dollars more expensive, but the unlimited map plan makes that cost negligable... Thoughts?
