GBOUTDOORS,
I run the Garmin 160 Blue, and love it. The 240 Blue is even better I think. In regards to the GPS, I run the matching Garmin 162 with external antenna and bluechart software. It is excellent.......

A little info about Garmin, over the summer my external gps antenna shorted out. The line had gotten kinked inside the 90^ angle of the T-Top tubing, the inside edge was jaggered and frayed the cable. I called Garmin to purchase a new antenna, explained to them what had happened. They insisted on sending me a free replacement antenna ups nextday delivery at no charge. The problem had nothing to do with their equipment, it was an installation problem. A+ customer service in my book...
