how does the Magelen Cyclo compare on maps?
Do any of them have information about bike routes (primary, secondary), street grade, etc? What about bikepaths/MUPs?
I think if you buy one of the Garmins that display maps and you don't have the Garmin City Navigator maps, you would be best buying the one of the SD cards sold by RWGPS ( Ride with GPS ) that have the OSM ( OpenStreetMaps ) already loaded and ready for your Garmin. I think they charge about $25 USD plus shipping.....or...you buy your own SD card and download the Maps off of OSM, either way.
