Buying a good GPS in UnitedStates

I am in Nicaragua now, heading north in the states in late March.
Can some one help an old aussie map man with some information on buying a GPS when I get into the US.
I have done the south america on a R1200 GS ADventurer with lonely planet book maps and a few local maps.
I figure if I buy a good gps I can see more places of interest that I want to see of the states and canada, right up to Alaska without wasting to much time asking directions.
They tell me also that I can plot a place I want to go to and it plots a course,the quickest way to get there, also I love to go around big cities
I can spend a couple of hundred bucks for something good.
Last question, going off road with it, do they have models for rough stuff.
I know this is the place for good advise, hope you can help me, :confused1:
