No Ross, not for the boat, but who knows... :) I have some points from a program that offers merchandise. Available are several Garmin GPS receivers. C530 C330 NUVI Travel Assistant Quest Street Pilot i5 Does anyone have any of these and if so, can you give a run down on how reliable they are? Now for the gratuities of sailing... Can any of these be loaded with navigational chart software? :) Thanks

Brian- No these units can't be loaded with marine navigation software. All five units will get you where you want by car/bike/walk. The differences are about size of the unit. All have touch screen except the I5. Voice over text features 330 and I5( voice does not name the street you are turning on, just turn right in 500 feet) vs. 530, Nuvi, and maybe the Quest saying (turn right in 500' on South Park Avenue, proceed two miles and turn Left On Washington ST) 530 and Nuvi have a better antenna for heavy canopies or canyons and tall buildings. Nuvi has a MP3 player in it. The most popular units are the 330 and Nuvi 350 and 360. Hope this helps. Rob
