No breadcrumb for trails
But you can scroll map to see what direction the road is on.

And the rear camera comes in handy turning around on a tight trail
Yes I wimp out and turn around if im alone and far from anywhere.Im mostly worryed about steps getting hung up.

No but it is handy to use no looking up directions reading maps ect.
Also we are looking for a lake house upstate and you put in several addresses and it will bring you to the closest one and off to the next one.

I come accross many old loging trails and snowmobile trails at the same time.

Also when in Ga the ranger gave me gps locations of some good trails.

Funny you say that. I already have some gear on order. More gadget factory than necessity though.

I'll be installing a Pioneer Nav unit in a few weeks (most likely anyway). As for off roading, get a Garmin 60CSX. This unit is amazing. Small 2.5 inch screen but you don't need to plug it in, it last for 14+ hours with rechargeable NiMH batteries.
Not a road router, but a GPS designed to hike with, and with the car mount, you can't get lost anywhere. Has the reverse track feature (breadcrumbs) to lead you out.
Uses the new SiRF III chip, and latches onto the satellites (including the WAAS satellites) faster than any GPS I have ever owned.

I was thinking of ordering the Factory Hummer NAV unit with my 07 H3..
Would you say not to and go with the pioneer?? And why..Cost.. Quality..or other.

I do like pioneer stuff..Very High Quality.

And yes..I don't give a Sh_ t...it's bells and whistles for me. I putten in what I want. F It...

When I got my H3, the NAV system was not available, so there was no question of what to go with.
I can't honestly give an answer, other than yes, the Pioneer D2 is less expensive, even after adding all the goodies such as steering wheel remote and rear camera.
I have a price of 1400 for the AVIC-D2, the two adapter harness to allow Onstar to work as well as retain the chime functions, the rear camera, the remote for the steering wheel, and a new onstar module (existing one will not work with the Pioneer system; antenna will).
I figure about a maximum of four hours to install.
