Default What GPS to Get?

Good thread. I'm equally curious as to others opinions as well. GPS for
small craft is hard to decide. I was looking for a model similar to
what Gary is looking for, but also, portable, versatile and the ability
to upgrade and add on features.

I'm seriously considering the Garmin GPSMAP 276. I'm hearing a lot of
good things and the versatility is a big plus. Not to hijack the
thread, I'd like to know if others have opinions on this product or
other like it.

Not bad for the price either...

We have a 22' boat. Already have a GPS, the basic
hand held Garmin - no mapping - no color screen.

I'm thinking I'd like to get a hand held unit that
has charts/maps with depths. I'd like it to have a PC
interface.

Any good models you can suggest?

What features, etc. should I be thinking about?

Thanks,
Gary
