There can be quite a difference!
I bought a MemoryMap 3500 GPS on a verbal recommendation.
With full UK OS maps loaded it was great for trail riding / walking but beyond that completely useless.
MemoryMap rudely informed me that a SatNav provides directional instructions (ie., turn left in 500 yards) but a GPS does not.
They don't provide great customer service so that may be total bullsh*t but it does seem relatively true for pure GPS units.
The idea is, you already know where you want to go & as long as the map is loaded, the GPS will pinpoint you on the road/trail. It was quite fiddly to plan a route on the GPS so you need a PC and lots of patience...
Sounds like you need a SatNav with off-piste capability
