So I've left my Oregon 300 somewhere in the Fish River Canyon, between the Causeway and Ai-Ais :(

Fortunately, insurance is buying me a new one ;D

I seem to have specified a pretty high value for it, so I can choose between any of the following :
Montana 600
Oregon 600
Zumo 390

My application is mostly for use on the bike / in the car, with a lot of offroading, but also for hiking. Track handling is an absolute must, as is the ability to use multiple mapsets (I use a combination of Topo & Rec, Street maps, T4A and some custom maps that I've built).

I really liked my Oregon 300, and I assume the 600 would be more of the same, just better (like dual orientation). I'm leaning towards this as I have all the accessories like mounts and the like, just not sure whether it would fit.

The Montana seems like a good option, since it has a everything the Oregon has and more, only significantly larger, and I'd have to buy all the accessories again.

I like the Bluetooth on the Zumo, just not sure whether it can do everything I want in a GPS, and it obviously isn't built for use as a handheld.

I liked the touchscreen on the Oregon, so not really interested in a 62 or 78, and I definitely know not to get a TomTom or to use my phone.

So, which one of the three should I get??
