Thanks for the info! 
The Montana sounds obviously better.  I just don't know if it's $150 better than the 450 or not.  The bigger screen would def be a plus. 

I had enjoyed my Nuvi 500.  I had created several maps with help from google earth and basecamp but I figured out the drawbacks of the nuvi 500 real quick.  I couldn't upload a map overlay or tracks from either google earth or basecamp (and I really tried).  I had to use the poi every little bit to make a trail and follow that.  Once I followed it a track would be created but this was not ideal.  I had made several maps I like and tried to load them and only the poi would show.
I enjoyed tinkering with making the maps, trails and overlays even though I couldn't load them on the nuvi 500. 
I like the oregon 300 or 400 but before I get it I want to know that its going to do everything I want it to.  (highly customizable)   I use it for ATV/UTV trail riding and I would also like to load city navigator on it for the road.  The reviews would like you to believe that they can all do anything you would like it to.
If anyone has any suggestions for the right GPS I would appreciate it.   These things are not cheap and I would hate to buy another one and find that it doesn't do what i want.   I'll find and load the maps it needs (City nav, topo) thats part of the fun.  I just need to know its going to do what I want.
