What's this GPS worth?
I'm an idiot when it comes to GPS. Never owned or operated one in my life. Would like to have something for the boat mainly. What is this one worth? Will it be ok for the boat? What else will I need to buy?

Or would this one be a better deal for me?

Thanks all.

I started out with the GPS III+
It did everything I needed, both on land and water. Great because of the small size, especialy if room is of conscern or more of a toy.
But as Nort said, small screen. Makes it harder to navigate.
I now have the 162. 20x better. Love it.

At the very minimum, In my opinion, don't get less than the Garmin 176 or 176c Chatplotter. There is a bigger screen and a lot more features. The 182 is even better.
