Hello to the Danes,
Both your choices for the end of your trip are good ones , but what's best for one person isn't so for another. In other words only you can decide what's best for you. If time becomes an issue then I would have thought DV and Yosemite would be easier as I can't see the point in driving through the Urban sprawl of LA without spending the time there.
Whatever GPS you decide on it is worth taking paper maps, I still think they are the best device for finding places that appeal to you.
