GPS navigation questions.., road trip!!!!!! Options

[Rayme]

I guess some people here have experience with those GPS navigation system (garmin, etc..) so I thought I'd ask.

Do they record your own path (If you go on un-charted territory?). So when you turn back, you can guided back to the path you took.

I'm planning a trip to Mt. Carleton (which is the highest peak in NB) and I want to get there by the mountain roads instead of the long boring highway, and stop alogn ways to do some sightseeing and BBQ. And I'd be very suprised any of those little roads are in the GPS units at all, they are not even on google maps. If I were by myself I wouldnt need a GPS but I'll have passenger I'll be liable for

What do you guys think?

Here's the trip (B) is the destination. When I reach MIRAMICHI I want to go through the forest instead of through the highway.

yes they can trace your paths

i KNOW the blackbird can - get one, use it, return it =)

the garmins im 98% sure cant and im 50/5 on the tom toms

the old blackbird i had was nice, just wasnt finished. the new ones im sure are MUCH better. alpine makes em. same software etc as the acura nav systems plus a shlt load more points of interest (businesses) than garmin and tom tom
