Hand GPS
 

So we all know that we need to have a GPS with us, before we go out. To make sure we stay out of the close out areas. I also got a NEW boat for xmas. So i was wondering what you guys recomend on getting that would be good for my boat and portable to take on my kayak.
thanks

I like these types but if you go on Ebay you can find Black and White screened ones for about $100 to $150.

i have a garmin vista C with bluecharts. decent detail of bathometry

here is track from the gps in mapsourse, it has a little better detail if you zoom in but not much on bathometry

If you have an iphone get MotionX.

I have a used garmin handheld GPSMAP 78SC which is garmin top of the line marine handheld loaded with bluechart. I also have a ram mount. These items are listed on ebay. Go To garmin web page and check it out.
