Hand Held gps

[airlock]

Hi, when my outboard finally turns up i'm looking to get out past the bar and hit the reefs, i'll be using charts and a compass but i'm also after a cheap handheld gps just to help me find that perfect spot and mark them off if they work for me.
Whats a good basic model, i don't need all the bells an whistles just easy to use, easy to read and relatively robust (waterproof is a must)
And finally were can i get this from? (no body mention bcf)

Garmin 60 is ok. Runs off 2 AA or you can buy a lead to fit cigy lighter. Hooks up to PC so you can download waypoints etc or upload to your gps.

Garmin etrex 10 cheap as. Doesn't have maps but is fine for marking structure or your crab pots

Don't know if they're still made but I've had a Lowrance H2O for near 9yrs now and still going strong. Excellent when fitted to a RAM mount with magnifier accessory.Jim
