GPS recommendation

I bought a Handheld GPS unit last year because my Speedos where not working because we get so much growth in the water tons of grass, I was original going to load maps and use it the same way as you described but the mapping software is big bucks 100-200 dollars and then you have to load them on a XD flash miniclip from you computer I just gave up fixed my Speedo’s the next week. P.S a waste of 200 bucks. Maybe you will have better luck

I think I bought the garmin explorist 500... It doesn't come with software/ maps

Raindog,Magellan "sportrak pro" don't know about your lakes but mine are there with no downloading or buying the CD or software.
It also shows some of the small lakes i did not even know were there.Have owned several GPS units,the E Trex is what i use for hunting and general guidance. The Sportak is used for racing lakes and offshore on Hobie Cats, lottsa info and good mapping ,price is not bad and they are easy on batteries...............boat dr

I don't think the sun moon and stars will do that good of a job protecting the $800 I just spent on prop, drive shaft and coupler, strut bearing, etc. But then, that might take away a little business, eh Eric....

The real reason, my classic does not have a speedo or depth gauge. I don't want to cut her up to put that stuff in the dash, but I want the info. Also, we are looking to explore a lot of rivers and flowages which can get pretty confusing after a long day of, ahem, fun in the sun.

Besides, the sextant is a bit rusty, anyways.
