Shopping for a handheld GPS. Anyone have recommendations, advice, or cautions?
What features are "must haves"? Which did you think you'd use but don't? Thanks
in advance!

I bought a Lowrance 500 about two months ago.
The only disadvantage so far is the minute character size.
With my old GPS55 just a glance was enough, with this one I really have to look.
Apart from that it is a great light weight unit.

Before you buy anything just try it, and check what parts you have to buy extra.
With some models you have to buy mounts, cables, adapters etc. separate.
