GPS recomendations

I am looking at GPS units and would like to know your thoughts on the new Magellan Meridian color unit and other recomendations.

IMO, Garmin has the easiest menus to navigate through all the different functions with.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

GPS

I just received a Garmin 162 e for fathers day.
Great inexpensive unit, under 500.oo w/Bluechart cd. The map covers south. Maine to Long Island. Just black & white but I couldn't afford to go color. The soft ware is great to work with.

I would go with the Garmin 176 color or black+white GPS/plotter very portable I use it in the boat/car/fourwheeler/and on foot while hunting. Great detail and the ocean charts are perfect.
