what c'coder said.
I have the Garmin 188c and love it.
Very very good detail on the chart.
Awesome sonar, even at 40 kts.
Easy to install.
Extremly accurate possitioning.

I have the Garmin 178c and it is extremely easy to use. My first boat and first GPS. Basic operation is almost self explantory based on the button names/layout. The manual helps for the more advanced operations like chartplotting, changing std settings, etc...

Zac
she goes 40? awesome!
Uffa, if you really want to lear about gps take a course. it is pretty easy to learn the basics on your own but a hands on course is great. They are offered all summer by several boating org's...keep your eyes peeled. Also, I have a brand new in the box GARMIN GPS MAP 276C Land and Sea Package
I will let go for 650 (lists for 1100) comes with charts see:

Zacs,
My 178C tracks bottom at 38 knots (by GPS). Great unit, my first FF. I bought the detailed chart for Cape Cod and it has great detail.
