HELP on HandHeld GPS

Asked to pick out a hand held GPS for my birthday. Really can't make a decision due to lack of knowledge on GPS's.So how about some suggestions.
Want to get the best and most dependable. Will use it for fishing so accuracy is most important. Prefer largest screen and clarity. Cost is not a issue.

garmin 76 csx easy to use and great for acccuracy

garmin 378 larger screen and pre loaded lakes and city nav for the truck too

Although I've never seen anyone mention them hear, Delorme has a unit that I would buy if I had need of one. It has many bells and whistles, color and easy to view in sunlight. Go to Delorme.com and check it out. I've been a user of Delorme mapping products for years, no complaints.

I've got an IFinder H20 and wouldn't trade it for anything. To me, it's easier to use then the garmins, and the screen is bigger. But it's the only unit I've used.

Real men use Garmin and so does most of the world.;)

Looked on there web site. Impressive. Will one have to be a rocket scientist to use it. Did not see any screen sizes, what do you guess? Just how big will my banker have to be? There's a distributor about 100 miles from me.

Thanks

Did some research, the Delorme appears to be a good top of the line GPS.
BP stocks them also. Will put it high on the list.

Thanks

You got a point there. I have a Garmin street GPS in the Tahoe.

Well we can cross that one off, pretty healthy price for a GPS. If I was still working I may have gotten the company to vouch for it. Thousand would be top investment for me.

Thanks again

I went with the Garmin Oregon 400c. Now I have to figure out how to use it.
Had to buy a additional card for the NE lakes.
Thank you all for helping me select my GPS.

Most statements of "money is no object" prove to be false later, if not sooner. I've got a cheap Magellan Sportrak for fishing/hunting spots. It works ok, but the repeatability is not very good, at all. The old saying, "you get what you pay for" is getting out-dated. Now, it is more likely, "you get what you pay for, if you're lucky". Good luck with your search.

Edit: I was looking at those too. The Oregon series look like they would be easier to see. Let us know how it works for you.

So far the Oregon is great. Still in the learning curve but I find it real easy to use. Lot of good extras. Good graphics and I really like the touch screen. Seems to be pretty accurate but I haven't done any brush pile pin pointing yet.
Came with the waterway. I had to dish out a extra $100 for the lake chip. Go on road map chip, topo chip, and so on. Had to get a AA battery charger or catch that pink rabbit. Batteries are only good for a long day on the water.
