I have been using the Garmin out of my wifes car lately...suction cup sticks right to the windsheild...you just have to be sure to put it in "off road" mode.

yeah.............. uh...... I have a new one of those now..... I was using mine on dad's bass boat testing the new motor...... I bumped it with my hand and it popped off the mount and went in the drink... I tried to grab it and actually touched it in the water and then it, along with 8 years of saved addresses, was gone

I just downloaded Navionics USA ON MY HTC EVO!!! Just to have it, what a kick a$$ download!!!! To bad cell service sucks 20 miles off the beach. My cell download is almost as on the albemarlegood as the gps on the albemarle!

Northstar 951X is the hot ticket, you will not find one better, just so happens, I have one for sale If you are interested, send me a PM.I tell all my customers to get a Garmin, the 441 and 541 are both nice units, they are color and come with built in charts. I was in West marine yesterday and happended to look at one, i couldn't believe the price, they have gone up quite a bit since hte last time I looked at one. Lowrance is a hit or miss, my friends that install depth finders/gps' for a living tell me all the problems they have with them, but the fishing boards are all about them

PS, I also have an older Ray marine rc320 for sale cheap

Lotta peeps using an ipad for navigation and I can see why...I put a navionics app on my new iphone and it's fookin' GREAT!!...has all the detail and MORE of the chart functions that my chart plotter has in the boat...arrow follows the course over water, displays speed over ground and the contrast, picture quality is world class...and when not in boat, can be used for laptop computer...so it's a two-fer that's hard to beat...comes in black or marine white and there is a boat mount you can get for it...fo shizzle!!...

only downside is that (I THINK) you lose gps when you leave cell service
I know my iphone does but maybe the ipad is different
