I currently have two GPS "systems":

Garmin Geko 201 - what I carry in the field when I just want UTM coordinates and bearings/distances to/from waypoints.

Delorme Tripmate w/ PC - which I've used in my truck on vacations, but fear trashing the laptop in panic stops and always worry about laptop theft. I don't want to install one of those laptop stands in my truck.

I'd like to get a mapping GPS that will get more use in my truck than hiking, but can still come into the field with me if I'm in an area where a mapping GPS will be useful. It would have to have removable memory cards, display UTM coordinates, and store waypoints (from what I can tell some vehicle mapping GPS units don't display UTM or store waypoints - instead they focus on addresses and street routes).

So, I've been waiting to hear details of a new Magellan "Crossover" that is essentially a vehicle-style GPS (looks like a small TV set) that also be loaded with topo map software and used in the field. It is supposed to come out this month (late January 2007).

Has anyone heard of it? Does anyone know anything about Magellan GPS's that I should know about. Am I crazy for waiting around for this new Crossover model?

I guess a few existing Magellan vehicle GPS's can be "upgraded" to the crossover maps later (when available), but the unit I'm waiting on comes with a more durable case w/ lanyard tie, plus I don't want to pay additonal $'s later for the update.
