Thank you for the replies, how is the durability on the garmin units? I'm not very gentile with my things.

I have the 76c and love it so far. Beat the hell out of in my 14' boat for 1 season so far and it hasn't missed a beat yet. I'd definitely recommend getting solor if you can swing it.

How is this for durable. -20 windchill 0-100 miles an hour, snow, water proof for 30 min up to 3 ft under. Works like a charm. I have the Garmin GPS Map 60c. Great tool.

There are lots of good ones, i use Magellan marine one that supports a chart chip that gives you great detail (albeit on a small screen). (And I put it in my ski truck in the off season as it supports great driving directions with routing...I have it with me now in VT while skiing, it is great for finding the nearest resturants, hotels etc ) In the summer, I put in the marine chip and it does all the charting. Many have similar features. No matter what you choose, you want a WASS unit that is waterproof and one that can run on batteries as well as a dash mounted 12V power feed. The chip will give you a lot more detail, just like the big models.
