    I've been wondering if there's any hope for a GPS that includes the dirt back roads of the Navajo and Hopi reservations. On topos there are so many its hard to figure which are the main ones. My guess is no one much cares so if I bought a GPS for use on the rezlands there'd just be a huge blank spot other than the paved roads.

    Guess I could get off my lazy bottom and go find a dealer around here and ask. Thanks for the tips on the manufacturers.

    Ron, my best advice for you is to get off your lazy bottom and ask a local dealer! However, I can tell you that my GPS does show some dirt/unpaved roads and can also navigate off road using way points and/or coordinates. Not all dirt roads I've come across are in my GPS so you'd definitely have to check with Garmin.

    You might be suprised...... I have a Garmin StreetPilot and going up Black Mesa above Espanola it showed a goat trail that turned into a rabit run that turned into a mouse track before it got lost
