Small sailboat,,, no GPS. For next season I want to get a handheld Garmin
GPS. I see them all over.

What is a good one? I don't want to spend too much money.

You do not give enough information for a reasonable answer. Two sides of
the spectrum of answers a

Garmin's Foretrex 101: I love the accuracy in WAAS, length of battery,
ability to use recharables or regular AAAs, wearing as a watch so it is
always "on hand". Excellent for checking location and speed. Wish the
display had simple move left or right to destination.

Garmin 76 CS (etc.): I bought the larger 276C for the larger screen. But
this is a standard handheld shape, has WAAs (essential for navigating or
speed AFAIC), has color screen you can see and allows you download maps
for your area. Excellent for chart plotting, routes, way points and ease
of navigation in strange waters.

Specify your needs and I am sure others will have great ideas. Heck, I
might too.
