Garmin Summit HC it is a hand held that works in your car and with the blue chart on the boat, or in the trail it will track you as well. So if you know were you are going in the day time, it will bring you back home in the night. works off batt. It is a true boater friend.

Garmin 76. Cheap, easy to use, bulletproof. ALL YOU NEED.
The only thing I don`t like is the mount, it is weak and not very steady when riding.
Get the external power cable with cigarette lighter plug, better than hardwiring.

I have a Garmin GPS-V. It works great for me.

I use it in the car, on the boat, on my motorcycle, and use it handheld for Geocaching.

The one thing I don't like about it is that it only holds 19mb of detailed maps so I have to reload each time I drive in a different direction.

On the boat it works perfect.

I made a bracket for it for the boat that doesn't shake.

They don't make them anymore but you can find them on ebay for cheep.

Hey CF I have a Lowrance handheld I've used for 5-6 yrs, I've used this one to go 45mi off shore from Oregon Inlet and that's all I used for most of those years. It never failed me and I still have it as a back-up.
