Suggestions for Current Car Sat Navs that send/receive to/from BaseCamp

I have a handheld etrex 20 which I use for lots of work in conjunction with BaseCamp. I want to buy a car sat nav and be able to move waypoints, track logs and routes/trips between the handheld and the car devices via basecamp..

I've searched the web for a couple of hours trying to answer the question of which in-car devices currently available on the market can transfer data to/from basecamp.

I found an old list here .. https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId=%7Bf2cf7300-77af-11e2-65d0-000000000000%7D ..

and I had been looking mainly at nuvi models. It seems that the specific models on the list aren't readily available for sale any more.

Perhaps someone can assure me that if a device is specified as having USB connection then it will definitely talk to BaseCamp?

Maybe I should just restrict myself to DriveSmart models, as that list gives a blanket assurance that they will connect.

Any suggestions of current models please to satisfy me please?

    Two points:

    1) From the tenor of many posts on various sites the Montana never was much of a on-road navigator when compared to the dedicated on-road units. It could do it if necessary but for many it was not their first choice if they had a choice.

    2) Agreed with respect to CN vs OSM in the USA. Folks here just need to get busy and add their local stuff to the OSM database. Its not difficult to do and is a fun way to pass rainey days or cold and snowy winter evenings.
