I have a 60 series Garmin GPSMap, and it has been an excellent unit.
I have used it on my sled in the winter and dualsport motorbike in the summer for the past 5 years. Covered in snow and ice, or mud and water, it keeps going.
It has excellent reception in thick cover.

I have a Lowrance and love it. I have the snowmobile trails on it as an overlay. Sweet set up. I also use my phone (droid 2) as a gps and navigator. Just for giggles and grins I found a phone App and loaded an old fashioned compass on the phone it works quit well.

I had one and it worked great. You will want to buy the TOPO card for it though. I got the Great Lakes region for $80.00.
I ordered the Garmin Zumo 220. It's the motorcycle version that's supposed to be waterproof. $400 I hope that it can hold up.
Where did you get the card? Does it have the trails on it?

Lowrance topo maps are pricey. You buy from them and the sell it in sections. $60 got me most all of Tog. Area to Lava mtn. It's like a dollar a sq. Mile for topo maps from Lowrance.
I found an interesting website that has some free gps maps.

I believe that it's all legal. There's even some free trail maps.
This one supposedly has logging roads, trails, gas, etc. for the trail: http://www.redpinemapping.com/michigan-snowmobile-trails-garmin-p-134.html
It's $39.95 for the full download.
