Finally i have narrow down to two - Delorme PN-60 and Oregon 600. Seem like both have a good features. I visited field stream store today and they don't have handheld GPS. A salesperson said maybe Dick's sporting good store or Best Buy. Later I will stop by. I hope they have demo that I can test and play with it before I buy. I don't want to get stuck if I don't like it. I am sure most of stores policy if buy electronics, will not give you money back. They probably stock Garmin hand held GPS but not sure about Delorme. I will contact Delorme and see if they have a list of dealer in my home town. Wondering where do you buy Delorme? Thanks!

has a ton on the shelf. you can use your smartphone to find one, navigate to it, and compare to the standalone, right there in the store.

I have the 600 and a PN40. I like the interface better on the Delorme better, but that's a personnel preference.

 

I did like the multiple file support, but like the unlimited geocache support on the Garmin better.

 

Try both, buy on price and usability preference. I wouldn't worry about support, as you will be unlikely to need it on either.
