Check out the iFinder Hunt C Plus (I used mine every time I am near the deep coastal forest)

It has hunting specific icons for creating your waypoints like deer tracks, tree stand, scrapes... It has a huge screen, too.

The plus comes with the Mapping software CDs! It not only has all the Topos in the US - It also has all the hunting units! That is a HUGE bonus when you are near the edge of your unit.

You can also drop in the NAV chip which may be used to navigate/fish the North American waterways!

I'll admit it... I have used it on the way back from a trip to find the nearest 7-eleven (worked very well too).

So let's see...
  • Mapping software
  • storage of maps
  • works well under tree cover and in valleys
  • color screen
  • doesn't do the turn by turn but does have hunting units on the maps
  • uses standard AA batteries
  • tough and waterproof
