If you buy a package you may end up with maps that don't do what you want, so the first thing is to decide what you need the maps to do for you. Then you may have choices about the hardware and software to run them on.
Maps vary by scope, accuracy, scale, detail, (inc. structures, gates), POIs and whether the detail varies by zoom level (raster v vector).
You may or may not need auto-routing. I will make a general statement and say that it's usually not to be relied on in the bush.
Best thing is to look at the map for an area you know
well and judge how much of a guide it is. (Ask the map seller to do a screen dump for you.)
In the case of scale, if you need to navigate tracks esp in the mountains, anything smaller than 50K is in my opinion not useful such as 100K or 250K which are commonly on offer.
HTH.
