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 ?

I am looking to replace my GPSMap 276C for use while 4 Wheeling.
Here are the features I want.  Can anyone suggest a Garmin model that has these features and doesn't cost a fortune?

GPS Features most wanted.

o   Ability to leave Tracks 
o   Ability to download detailed Topo Maps or "Customized Maps.
o   Ability to enter Waypoint by entering coordinates.
o   Large memory to hold lots of map detail, tracks, routes and waypoints
o   Large, Color, easy readable screen.
o   Easy to manipulate buttons while driving.
o   Ability to attach to car's 12v system for power
o   Both internal batteries and ability to use car's 12v power. So can be used outside the vehicle too.
o   Ability to use Routes and Automatic Routing.
