 GPS
I'm looking at getting a delorme or a garmin oregon, anyone have any experience with either? You cant trust reviews on cabelas or ebay.

 Re: GPS
I just saw that Garmin came out with a GPSmap 62CSX
I love my 60csx (both the one that was stolen and returned (thanks Joe) and the one I just bought)

 Re: GPS
Get the delorme. I love mine. $299 and it comes with all the topo disks. Plus unlimited downloads of aerial, usgs quads, lakecharts, etc. for 29.99 a year. Beat my garmin hands down.

 Re: GPS
i have recently purchased the oregon 550C and im in love with it. it also has a 3.4 megapixel camera to take pics. when you take a picture you can just touch the snapshot of that picture and it will track you back to it. it is user friendly and an all around good GPS. you can also upload the pics to your computer and do watever you want with them.

 Re: GPS
This is off of one of the PDF's I have on it. We sell it for $3180.00 with a limited warranty.
This flagship marine navigator is missing just one thing - buttons. The GPSMAP 5012 features an unprecedented touchscreen interface, along with a satellite-enhanced worldwide basemap and a whopping 12.1" screen that makes navigation as easy as pointing your finger. By connecting to the Garmin Marine Network, you can add sonar, radar and weather. The GPSMAP 5012 features a worldwide basemap with high-quality satellite images in place of more traditional maps. For even more detail, you can add maps easily with the SD card slot without having to connect to a computer. The 5012's huge XGA screen displays graphics with crisp, video-quality resolution. To keep tabs on your engine room or other area of your boat, you can also connect a live video feed with the 5012's video input/output options. The 5012 connects easily to the high-speed Garmin Marine Network, so you can interface with additional MFDs and add remote sensors. Once connected, you can share information between the 5012 and other chartplotters on your boat. You can also add high-powered radar, sonar, and XM satellite weather and radio to your system. This product is bundled with GPS 17 with pole mount adapter

 Re: GPS
I have an Oregon 450.... nice GPS... wish I would of waited for the 78sc (same benefits as the Oregon 450 + it floats)... but the Oregon was a nice upgrade from my 76csx... i can upload full color maps now and the refresh rate is much better...
