Jeez... has Paddlewise died or what? Days and days with no one posting. How sad. I looked on eBay and 60C's seem to be going for around $150. Cheapest was one in Port Angeles for $100 on craigslist (right now, I think). I bought a USB GPS unit for the laptop and think I'll use Tiki for navigation on the mutha. Seems to work very well in the living room and the GPS even picked up position information sitting on my sofa with a second story on top of me and an aluminum awning just outside the window. I was very impressed. Garmin 76Csx models on the Internet going for as low as $229 if you shop around. My fish-finder (an old Uniden I got very cheap on craigslist) has GPS capablities as a backup (but no mapping). I can also use the Garmin 72 that I use (very happily) in the kayak. For paper charts I have a West Marine "waterproof chartbook" of the San Juan Islands and an Evergreen Pacific "Cruising Atlas" that covers from Queen Charlotte Sound to Olympia with many harbor charts, photos, and drawings. None of these are, strictly speaking, good for kayaking as the pages are large. But with copy machines everywhere now it's relatively easy to just make something and put it into a ziplock bag.
