Default Bushnell GPS

I see in a local add that Bushnell has a hand-held GPSR that _claims_ to
be able to use "Satellite Photography". Does this mean that I can use
maps from Google maps or other download maps?

My biggest complaint with my Garmin 76Cx is the limited up-to-date maps.

Have any of you tried one of these units?

The latest Garmin units (Oregon/Colorado?) can use either vector maps or
georeferenced bitmaps.

People I know have used both of those capabilities to use them with
orienteering maps:

and

Good luck!
