Garmin 76, Brunton MNS
Used the Garmin for the last 21 months, Big screen, easy to use.
No maps, but 10 tracklogs.

Also have used a Brunton MNS with their Topo loaded for a few months.
Normally turn off the elevation contours to simplify the screen. Has 50' elevation contours, 100 tracklogs.
Quite a switch from the Garmin. Still can't quite fit in all my tracklogs of the Denver Area.
(Even though I limit them to 250 pts or less each.)
None of the Garmin or Magellan units I've tested will identify a tracklog when the cursor is placed over it. The Brunton (AKA Lowrance) does! That feature is nice if you have a network of trails.
It also has the best 4WD & trail coverage.
Go for the Ifinder Hunt Plus or Hunt Plus color if you want off road info over street.
