Old PSAR thread - please see the new one
I purchased a Garming hand held about 10 years ago for my boat... quit working six months ago... But, for trailing-edge technology, it was darn good.
I bought Mrs. Toyz a Garmin GPS Map 76S last year... Off the top of my head, it has all sorts of maps available for it. But, for the most part I liked the Garmin hand helds because the menues are intuitive and easy to scroll through. The features I like the most are the tracking features and road-map with the steering arrow. I've found that most of the units available now have the features I like. The maps are cool and fun to play with, but for the most part, I don't use that feature. I just use the track-log and way-points. Though, interfacing them with a computer and imposing the way-points over a map to identify where a trail is would be nice (take some work too).
My only advice would be to get somehting that fits into your pocket nicely.

Hey BigD,
I wouldn't mind heading down to the dunes for a ride, but I guess you need a grab bar to mount the flag, oops, I did learn a valuable lesson though, don't strap the rappy down by the stock grab bar, after a couple years it will eventually snap off, Val guess what I want (need) for Christmas [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] It sounds like you'll have great company down there, nows the time to test out that new swingarm, yee haw!!!

I'll trade you a copy of the Trailer Dancing Video for the grab bar, even though I feel you're getting the better end of the deal [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
