Navigational Aids for the Chesapeake
We just finalized our purchase of "First Light" - 1994 Hunter 30T last week. We have paper charts and Plastimo compass. Binoculars. Raymarine ST40 Depth/Speed Indicator. VHF. Autohelm ST4000. Garmin 60CSX Handheld GPS with non-specific maps. A laptop.

I don't have warm fuzzies yet. I would like some type of GPS chart plotting on the cheap. Talking about stimulating the economy! The vacuum from my wallet created this last storm!! Deep cleansing breaths....

Been reading articles throughout SailNet and wondered what the best laptop software or Garmin Handheld GPS Maps would be for getting around the Chesapeake Bay. Is there such a thing as a quality chartplotter with maps for less than $400?
