Thanks for the opinions.....looks like the Garmin's the right one for me.

I may have found the deciding factor on whether to buy a Magellan 500 explorist or Garmin 60cx. When I look at the map webviewers from Magellan and Garmin, the Garmin maps show minor forest service roads and trails while the Magellan maps show nothing. Even some roads that I frequently travel and are considered major roads in the forest are not shown with Magellan. Is this what you have found with your own GPS? I am wondering if the map's webviewers are an exact version of what is loaded on a GPS. Even though the Magellan maps are much more pleasing to eye as far as realistic contours, clarity, and Forest Service road numbers, having the minor roads and trails are a must for me. Please give any other comments that you have on the two maps. Thanks
