I have a GPS MAP 478, I really like it. It's not as "baller" as most of the units guys have on here, but it was also under $1,000.
Cool part is, at the end of the season I can pop it out and use it in my truck all winter, it comes loaded with US street maps, does turn by turn directions, ETA, a whole bunch of features. Real easy to set up and read on the boat too.

Look around there has been posts before about removing the compass. Some guys have done a fine job of this. I have it on my spring to do list. I'll post pics once I get it started. I'm using a 487C on the dash and a 1030 over the cabin door (I think that's the number) I have a 99TG

Here is where mine is mounted in my '88. I'm in the process of replacing it in the same location with an updated model. (garmin 2006c)

It's a Garmin gpsmap 225 chartplotter. I have the unit, a flush mount plate, the antenna, all of the wiring, a bluechart chip for the Chesapeake Bay/mid-Atlantic area and a manual.
$350 and it's all yours!!

I've just bought this Geonav 7' Wide @ € 1300

It's really SUPER , I don't know where to place it ..
I don't want to take off the embroidery
Probably I'll place it in the corner up to the navigation station
