That involves hiking, maybe biking and so requires topo map compatibility.  I can always put a unit that is delicate in a case.  I like the fun stuff like altitude tracking, temperature, and so on.  I don't want a MP3 player or camera!   Seems like there are alot of overkill options on a lot of the street units.  What about Garmin versus Magellan?
