Terry,
Was looking at the pictures on Luke's site. I take it that Garmin is not a "map". You will pick up a b/w gps quite cheaply ex. UK. Have a look at
http://www.redcar-fish.co.uk/ They are a helpful crowd and they will deal if they can.
If it's a colour unit you're looking for, its hard to look beyond the 172C. Got one ourselves recently and its a super item. It's got a compact screen which will not clutter your console. Be prepared though if you get a colour gps you will end up getting a colour sounder as to look at b/w after colour is a disaster!

Hi jim
no the garmin is not the map type. On your recommendation ill go for a 172c but do i need to buy a map chip?
ive heard you can buy blank ones and buy a cd-rom and transfer the maps you want is this true?
Thanks for the reply
