Garmin Nuvi 550 for boating

[wish2fish]

Wondering if anyone is using the Garmin 550 or similar for boating? Currently I use an Garmin eTrex handheld for speed and compass. Wouldn't mind getting something that has maps but I don't need a big fancy gps for what I do.

Some are better than others. I have this unit and the inland lakes card. Let me know what you want to know and I'll see if I can help you out.
