Peggy, we have a Magellan Sport Trac GPS unit and Mapsend Topo US software. The GPS unit is around 200 dollars and the software about 69 dollars at stores like BestBuy. It's great when you get lost in the hills! Just take extra batteries. There's some much more expensive ones also. Hope this helps...
