I stumbled across this goldmine of a site and this thread. I lucked into an unexpected trip in a couple of weeks to Fairbanks, Alaska, where I will be out at night by myself chasing Aurora. Plus I'm scheduled to go hiking in Iceland later this year.
I am a complete noob regarding handheld GPS, and I also have absolutely zero sense of direction! Unfortunately, I am on the road, and cannot go physically check out the units.
Based on this thread as well as information from other souces, I will probably buy the Oregon 450 from Amazon. From what I've read, the lack of pre-loaded topographical charts should not be an issue--is that right? Should I also get a microSD card for the unit? Anything else that I should consider before ordering the unit?
TIA
