??? Bought one a few weeks ago looking for something as intuitive as the Garmin in our car. This is my first GPS and haven't had it on the water yet but it is no where? near as intuitive as the one in our car. I'd try it out? in the store if you can. Peter

We have two Garmin 12XL (older units) that we did the Loop with and hooked up to our Lap Top Computer with computer navigation. Worked great. We also have a Garmin 76 which is easier to read. Both are hand held units, but we mounted them on RAM swivel mounts (also use the for the depth finder, VHF radio and RADAR). The marine units are not at all like the automobile / truck units -- many more functions like way points, etc. Check out article # (12) JUST TOYS OR GREAT LOOP NECESSARY on our website under the Cruising Articles section for more information. I would also suggest that you contact your local unite of the United States Power Squadrons <www.usps.org> as they have an Excellent USPS University 2 hour seminar on the Use of GPS units or attend a Trawlers & Trawlering seminar by Bob Sweet on this subject.
