Handheld GPS

Hey guys:
Chucker here from the Florida Forum, now living in Byhalia, Ms for a while.:Hands Clapping
I have been reading this Mississippi forum and I am interested in meeting/talking with a lot of you guys.

Thanks in advance for any info you can supply.

I am thinking about a handheld GPS to mark fishing spots. I would also like to be able to input lake maps.
I am just starting to fish butla, Sardis, and the like. These are very large lake if you are new to the area.:confused:
Anyone have any good advice for me, before I go out and buy the wrong thing?
I am in hopes that someone out there will have the answer for me.
Thanking you again!!!

Thanks "G"
I thought about that, but have not found the one I want yet.
I also don't want to go thru all the transducer mounting thru the hull stuff.

You decide to do something like that, let me know and I would be glad to help you out. Can't live to far from you.

Chucker.
I would recommend the Garmin GPS map 76 for the money. I have 2 of them and do not let any one tell you a Fishfinder with GPS takes the place of a handheld even though if your computer skills are ok the 2 devices do play well together. Buy one off ebay used and you will be happy you spent the $80.00 or so it should cost.
