This one has all streets even the little couldersac that my daughter lives in and it has about 6 houses in it, even tells you when you arrive at the house number that you put in for your destination.

What is it like if you get out of town and on to a 4wd track? Does it show mapping or does it just stop at the end of the map? I want to get some thing for my car too but don't know what to get.

You will find 90% of the GPS unit on the market will only do major roads/towns. 96% of the population as the sales speech goes....

Brett you would be looking for a Magellan eXplorist hand held.
They have topo maps & street maps. It gives you the best of both worlds.
