What do you think of that gadjet...
Portable GPS unit...
The GPSMAP 276C is an all-in-one, versatile, color chartplotter and automobile navigator — perfect for land or water. This portable GPS navigator features a 256-color TFT display that's easy to read in bright sun along with a built-in basemap and auto routing to provide you with turn-by-turn directions to the marina for a day of boating.

Garmin has raised the bar for portable automotive navigation with two new products: the StreetPilot 2610 and 2650.
Just choose your destination using StreetPilot’s touch screen or remote control to be automatically guided with turn-by-turn directions and voice prompts. Both the 2610 and 2650 feature color displays, built-in maps, and everything needed to download additional map detail and look up points of interest and addresses in seconds. Select maps and transfer data directly to the unit through a USB connection and onto a standard CompactFlash® memory card. These products are powered using the external speaker with 12/24-volt adapter cable or A/C power adapter (both are included in the purchase).

I prefer the Magellen Roadmate series to the Garmin's. I picked up the 500 series and a 1GB memory card. The 700 has the hard drive [no memory card needed] but I know between me and the kids that unit is going to take a lot of abuse, so I went with the card. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy over the holidays, I had a 10% off coupon and they had a 10% off sale and I had another $300 in trade in cash from some returned stuff.
