Best GPS navigator for OSM and propietary maps
Hello all
I want to buy a simple GPS navigator for driving and outdoors in general (mountain).
I would like to use OSM maps but also proprietary in case of areas not well covered by OSM yet.
Which are the options available ?
I have read that Garmin could serve but TomTom not at all.
Regards

Re: Best GPS navigator for OSM and propietary maps
Outdoor GPS equipment is dominated by Garmin. There are a lot of suitable devices which are rugged, waterproof which you'll probably need. The GPSMap 60CS(x) is a good one, but so are many others. Two things to keep in mind: a color screen is handy as is a micro-SD card slot.
Mapping tools: Garmin GPSmap 60CSx, Giant Terrago 2002

Thank you Lambertus
It seems really very complete and complying it all: driving, outdoors and cartography (navigating but also registering for OSM Project 
).
Best regards
