The watch style GPS from Garmin is a really good idea... I would think about one if I would not already own something handheld. As far as I know the watch style GPS does not allow for Garmin's mapping software (I guess they call it MapSend or BlueNav) to be uploaded. Entering waypoints with those GPS’s is not easy and will take a long time.
I have an older Garmin Magellan which I carry around about every where. I have the most basic version and a couple of SD flash rom cards (one 64 MB would do the job - it is just very difficult to fit TX on 64 MB and with the outdate serial connection it takes literally hours.) The Magellan is kind of big and supposed to be held in a hand - In my case sailing the Hobie requires all of my hands. The display is big and you can select a setting that shows the info that would be important for tactical sailing unfortunately it is very difficult to see the info on the display in bright sunlight.
I have Garmin's topographic software which is generally good and accurate - the problem is it is based on information >10 years.
Does some one have experience with BlueNav (either as CD or in form of SD flash rom)???
