I have been using Garmin handhelds for 15+ years (GPS 12, GPSMAP 12, GPSMAP 76, GPS MAP 478) and for 4 years-5 seasons a fixed mount GPSMap3000c chartpoltter on the Maine Coast and the Chesapeake. Non charting handhelds are almost so cheap that it is almost unseaman like to not have a basic handheld and know how to use it. Garmin's propducts and support IMHO are top notch. In terms of value their handhelds and chartplotters that are preloaded with all US coastal charts are a real bargan when you consider the amount of charts you are getting. You can use them on any coast without buying charts. They have many preloaded models at various price break points. I'd get one of those that is closest to yout price cut off. Online sellers like GPS City, Tiger GPS, are where you'll find the best prices.
