Can anyone recommend a good GPS that can be used for navigation in my car, as well as in my sailboat. Preferably it would also fit in my pocket. The Garmin Nuvi looks great, but I don't think it handles marine charts. Garmin also has one (IQUE 3600?) based on a PDA, that I've heard might fit my needs. I don't want to spend more than $800. Any suggestions?

I have the original Quest

I have the original Quest, which appears to be able to add and subtract maps and charts; I'm not to sure if the Quest 2 is able to do that. I like the Quest as I can use it in my pocket, on hiking and packing, for my car, and for the ocean (Blue Chart). Many don't like it because it is small; I like it because of its size (fits in a shirt pocket). I don't use it as my primary chart plotter, but I do use it as back up. There will be others out there that will work for you; that I know, just not sure which one. PS: I would have not posted this here, but in "ask all sailors;" you'll get more of a response.
