I'm not familiar w/ this unit, but it sounds like my old Magellan. It doesn't display any mapping info... ie no roads or anything. It will track where you've been, display waypoints and some other stuff..... I wouldn't get it....

I dont know what your budget is but.... buy one that does mapping. I have a unit that gives only lats and longs and speed etc. I re[placed it with a garmin gpsmap 60cx. It has a color screen and expandable memory(very important,maps are big in megabytes). There are now snowmobile trail maps available from these forums, posted by really knowledgeable guys. The maps I downloaded for Ontario trails were perfect. I go for quite long trips ,outside my area where I am familiar with . The mapping gps is a must have tool now for me.
Try to "google" snowmobile gps maps or similar and see whats out there.
