I just recently joined, so may have missed the discussion on this. Checked the archives and saw nothing. Anyone have any GPS units that they have experience with and would recommend? Sea-Kayaker showed a new Magellan Pioneer for under $100 but in the reviews I read, some dealers refuse to carry it because it is so limited in channel capacity and took up to 45 minutes to get its initial reading, and when turned on and off, lost its initial reading and required another 45 minutes to get it. I was interested to see that they have CD's with complete maps and charts that can be plugged into computer and the GPS; would sure save on purchasing local charts everywhere you go. A gimmick or an asset? Thanks.
