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.



Search eBay for used Garmin 48. I´ve had one such handheld for three
years, and quite happy with it. Large display, easy to use, can get
software to upload/download data such as waypoints and track to/from
your computer.

OTOH, a quick online check seems to indicate that this is not WAAS
enabled. If you are really planning to depend on a GPS unit, given the
technology, I would not understand not getting a GPS unit that is WAAS
enabled.
