I am interested in buying a GPS to take with me on my horse when I trailride. Do all GPS give you the distance between Point A and B or do you have to buy at the high end

It's one of the most basic features. More advanced ones give distances between points following a certain road instead of in straight line. I'm not confident about the traffic ones, but normal handhelds do have this function for sure.Hope this helps.Ignacio gives some good advise, if you get one of those traffic GPS, they are usually "dumbed down" and won't do what you are talking about, point to point. All of the basic hand helds work on this principle.
