You can get some pretty good units today which combine both features, for example I got the Horizon HX851.

The least expensive backup GPS IF you have a smartphone: Navionics software for either iPhone or Android, newest version is only $5 and enables you to upload your waypoints to the net for safe keeping. I had the older version with about 150 waypoints that I lose ability to use since I upgraded my phone, also upgrade the ap to the new version.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Crazy? One of these days you will actually get to take all these toys offshore.. As always, hope we never have to use them!
