the Etrex do not have street nav capabilities

It doesn't have "street nav" fxnality per-se, but you can approximate the functionality by marking waypoints along your route on top of the street maps. Not ideal, but just being able to see the map of the city and my destination satisfies all the fxnality I need. It's pretty easy to d/l points of interest to the eTrex, too, which makes it easy to find places in town and set them as waypoints to navigate to. But I would only recommend the eTrex if using it for camping is more important to you than street-naving because the eTrex is very rugged and impervious to getting knocked around, dropped, etc.
