Thanks guys!

I will be looking and I do value all your advice. I plan on a spending limit of $250 for now but by next season I will be able to afford one for more money.

Thanks again, you guys are the best!

The PC INTERFACE cable came with my GPSMAP76, all I had to do was buy the charts and upload from my computer. When I helped a friend bring his 43' TORRES from BOSTON MASSECHUSETTES to SARASOTA FLORIDA, we ended up using my GPSMAP76 for the whole trip. The $2500 STANDARD HORIZON crapped out less than 5 minutes after leaving port, so my handheld brought us all the way back without issue.

I have a Garmin GPS V that works great, I don't think they sell em anymore but you might find one used.

A GPSMAP 276 might be had for your budget if you catch one on ebay.

Garmin GPS 76 handheld. This is the unit I use for navigating. Great little unit for less than $200. I bought the package from Cabelas that came with a Ram mount, case for $220 , probably 2-3 years ago. This unit is for marine use and is already preloaded with Nav aids.http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...&noImage=0
