I bought an Oregon 450, against my husband's advice to buy the 450t. I thought I could do all the free map installs, etc. Well, I'm technologically challenged! I tried to use the 450 for geocaching, but it was not the greatest. I thought about returning it for the 450t, but then I thought I could just buy the $99 Southwest area map from Garmin. We use it for hiking and riding trailroads with our motorcycles. Any advice before I rip my hair out?

You get the 3D and Elevation details you're missing if you buy and install the maps which include the DEM data. So if you buy the non-T version and the maps, it's still going to cost roughly the same, but you'll end up also being able to use the maps in Basecamp, on the computer, as well as in the gps.
