Ah well, there's nearly always a different point of view and here's mine.
We've had the GPSMap76 for over two years and think it is ok but would =
not
want to depend on it for charting. The display is way too poor for that.
We use a notebook pc for charting with an old Garmin GPS II connected. =
And
yes, still keep the paper charts handy and double check. We use the 76 =
as
a backup and for waypoint direction reference at the helm.
I think the original poster only needs the cheapest possible GPS, like a
Garmin eTrex (less than $100?) or other cheapie.
If one wants to get into charting, the Garmin GPSmap 176 might do the
trick.
Which GPS?
