    Default Opinions needed on hand held gps......


    Looking to purchase a hand held gps. I have a cheap $99 Magellan, but am looking to upgrade. My Humminbird 998 is sitting on the front deck with me, but I need something to get me from fishing spot to fishing spot back at the steering wheel. I love the new touch screens hand helds that are out. What do you guys have and what do you recommend/not recommend?
    Thanks

    78S floats, but has a smaller screen. Oregon 450 has bigger screen but sinks.

    Garmin 76CSX is good, not touch screen but can be bought new around 250, lost mine back during deer season and got to get another before it rains much and I am gonna get another one of them.

    I have two Oregon 450's, one for my son and one for me. Never have had a problem with either one, as a matter of fact, they have gotten me out of a jam many of a time when tracking deer at night with our lab. I love to use it a night to back track and stay in the channel. We also use the same one at work with the card installed that has all the channels marked along the coast. Might be a better one out there for the price, but this one gets the job done for me.

    Dont want to sell that 76 do ya?? I lost mine back during deer season and am lost without it. Picked up a cheap Garmin yesterday to mark some stuff before the rain and was very disappointed. It will do for now but I will have another 76CSX in the near future. some body wants a cheaper one let me know, I'll let this one go for 100 bucks.

    I am a big fan of the Garmin 76 series. Easy to use and some kind of durable. Check out Ebay and get one under $100.00
