One of the last things on our safety checklist is a backup hand held GPS. This will only be used in emergencies.
I went to West Marine and saw some Garmins in the $300 price range.
What's a good, basic, bare bones one that will serve well as a backup? I am not looking for the latest and greatest gidget/gadget/gizmo/do all thing. The simpler the better. I do not care if will integrate with this and that or if it has blue tooth, gold tooth, yellow tooth, loose tooth or wireless this and that. I don't care if my friends/dockmates are not impressed with it.
This thing will sit in a drawer until it's needed, which I hope is never. So what's a good one?
Any "must haves" on a back up hand held GPS?
Thanks,
