Can you power the Montana using cigarette lighter 12v power?

Thanks for your help.  I guess I need to save my money and get a Montana. 
My old 276C had all my desired features.  When it was new, it was an expensive GPS compared to others.

I think the GPS manufacturers miss a fairly large market by not making a GPS that is optimized for the 4X4 market.

I don't need to be able to use or create Custom Maps.  However I do need the ability to leave Tracks and be able to upload and download tracks onto Topo Maps.  Mine is primarily in my Jeep but I sometimes want to Hike and need tracks in remote areas and want to be able to find my way back.  Also, I need to be able to manually create waypoints by entering coordinates.

I have a GPS for city use and so don't need to be able to do automatic routing to an address.

Isn't the Oregon screen kind of small?  Is there a Nuvi with the features I wanted ?
