What new modern new fangled GPS?

[davidlomax]

I have been using GPS's for a long time, although only for extended desert riding and long sea trips. My old eTrex model has no base map, and doesnt do songs, voices, colour, space shuttle flight planning etc etc....

In fact pretty much all it does is allow me to enter waypoints, routes, and record tracklogs. Excellent!!! Because thats all I want. Sadly there is a rather limiting 500 waypoint limit and only 20 allowable routes....also my tracklog is full after about 3 hours riding.

Is there anywhere I can get a simple model of GPS but with a larger memory capacity to allow me to store thousands of waypoints and routes?

If there isnt, what is currently considered the most rugged and simplistic GPS that has an SD card capacity?

I see the Garmin 60Cx allows 1000 waypoints (but doesnt specify whether its per SD card or in total) and an unlimted capacity for storing tracklogs on SD cards, but the Magellan range of units doesnt specify a max of wayponts only saying that it is 'unlimted' to stored memory. If this is so, why does the Garmin appear so popular with bikers? Are you guys mainly riding road routes using routes created by the GPS or are your 'off road' routes fairly small or undetailed?

Many Thanks,

Dave
