For a portable I use the same Garmin as KTManiac but for backpacking and slow moving methods of travel. I do not use it for Navigation because it does not have a database of points of interest and stuff like that. But I don't need that when I backpack (besides, there are no Taco Bells in the High Sierras so there's no point.)

Not so, it depends on what map sets you have installed on the unit.
I guess you don't have Garmin's "City Navigator" maps on yours, because I have every "Taco Bell" lat/lon location, address, and phone number in all 50 States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It's incredible, there must be about a bazillion POI's in City Navigator, all findable by searching by different catagories - Food, Lodging, Fuel, Shopping, Hospitals, Cities, Addresses, Attractions, Intersections, Banking, Entertainment, Recreation, Community, Transpotation, Auto Services - all sub-searchable by, name, nearest, symbol, different location.
