My mind is made up. It looks like for what I spend most of my time doing the PN-20 will work great. Plus, if I don't like it I can just send it back. I think the PN-20 with Topo 7.0 and the USGS quads will be a great combo. Order is in, and the product is on the way. Thanks for all the great feedback and advice I'll post my thoughts on it after I get to go out and use it.

I never thought about the US map only issue. While I don't think I'll be going to Canada in the foreseeable future, I am planning on hunting in Old Mexico.

Geoff, being able to load the maps and anything I draw, like where private land starts does make me lean to the PN-20. So why does everyone agree that the Colorado is better for geocaching? Is it the paperless feature or Accuracy? Electronic Compass? Altimeter??? Also how do the maps on the Colorado compare and can you download USGS quads onto it?

So what does everyone think? I am going to be upgrading from my Garmin Venture Cx and right now I am leaning towards the Delorme PN-20, but I'm still open. Currently I use my Venture along with Delorme Topo 6.0 on my laptop. The obvious advantage to the PN-20 is that I would have Topo 7.0 on the GPS unit instead of playing the game of transferring waypoints after figuring out what I need to know. Also just to note is that I mostly use this for scouting and hunting. I have heard some good things about the Garmin Colorado series, but I don't see anything yet that wants to make me pay a premium for it versus the PN-20 since with the current rebate you can get it for $299. I am also open to others as well. The main thing for me is the mapping detail on the GPS and having a good signal out in the boonies (of AZ and CO). Any opinions??? And when I do get it I guess I'll be looking to sell my Venture
