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.

it all depends on what GPS system you get, there are GPS systems made exactly for that. I know my tom to m doesn't do that. but I've seen others that do. so just ell them what you need it for and they'll give you one with that feature. the first GPS systems sold to the public did exactly that.
