Depends entirely on make and model you finally decide to get. Some can 
do all of those, or combinations, others are more driving (and therefore 
street) oriented, others will work from satellite or aerial photography, 
and the really bare-bones ones may not have any sort of mapping beyond 
drawing a line showing the route you've followed based on it 
automatically doing a position check every X amount of time while it's 
turned on.
