What I'd like is to be able to map offroad trails. Ideally, I'd like to turn it on as I pull off the trailer, let it record my movements all day, then (and this may be the kicker) download the resulting squiggles to my laptop.
An external antenna would probably be a good idea, but I don't know if it'd be entirely necessary.
Does anybody make such a thing?
Can anybody recommend one?
Thanks!

I have a Garmin nuvi 205 w/bluetooth(so you can use it as a speaker phone) which you are probably not looking for. But it will record your every move, I have created roads at Sand Lick and named them the way I choose. It's even got a truck with monster tires as your vehicle and a British chick to tell your directions. You can turn the sound off if you like. As far as downloading to your computer, that is something I haven't done yet. You can also put it in your pocket and track your favorite hunting spot in walk mode. And download pictures. I chose this one in hopes to download topigraphical maps but haven't done that yet either.
I suggest checking a few out and see what fits your needs. You may want to
look at the handhelds sold in hunting stores.
Good luck with your search,
