We travel by RV towing a Jeep Wrangler. We are planning on
going to New Mexico next summer and would really like to buy a
GPS unit for that trip and the many others that we do.

We are planning on going off roading in New Mexico so we need
something that can go from the RV to the Jeep without having
to take the laptop in the Jeep.

Are hand held units good? Or is it better to get a bigger one
that can be mounted but still be moved?

An excellent place to start is http://gpsinformation.net/ . Read the
lead articles "My First GPS for Hiking" and "My First GPS for
Automobile." With that background, delve deeper for reviews,
articles, and comparisons among almost ever consumer GPS available,
with links to everything GPS.
