I have a handheld I keep as a spare or use when someone what's to get accurate numbers and they do t have a GPS.

I would say other than in an emergency, handheld GPS units are just too small to use for navigation. If you want a handheld GPS, load Navionics on your phone and use that. Otherwise pony up for at least a 7" plotter to permanently mount on the boat.
