I would highly recommend the Magellen Meridian Marine. Use the West Marine's waterproof bag (sm) for a perfect fit. The Meridian Marine has 16MB of NAVAIDS built in. There is no "joystick" (all push button) and buttons are located on the face of the unit which makes it very easy to use in a bag.

I bought mine mail order (yahoo shopping) for $269. It has a large LCD B&W screen that's easy to read in daylight. It also has a very bright backlight. I get about 12hrs of use out of the 2 NiMH 1500ma AA rechargables (radio shack). Check out www.magellengps.com for details and photos.
