I have used the Montana for several years. decent size touch screen. Can add custom maps, topo maps, BC backroads maps. good battery life also.

Re: Gps units
I've heard good things about the Montana!
I've been using an etrex 20 on my mountain bike since 2014 without any issues. It's a bit of a pain to setup, but online tutorials help and once you have it setup the way you like it it's a nice little unit. For a map, I use ones from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ which are free and use open street map data. With the backlight off, the batteries seem to last forever.

Good unit, quite similar functions as the montana. I just cant stand the map scrolling small screens with the selector button. Let me know if you want maps
