Hello,



So I'm heading off on a trip to Lake of the Woods, Ontario, to go to an event called LOWISA. LOWISA is a week long adventure, sailing from island to island on my Hobie 20, and living on a houseboat at night.



I'm thinking about making a last minute GPS purchase. Sure, the "techie" in me would love to perhaps get the E-trex Legend, made by Garmin. But does my trip really justify spending twice as much as I would on the plain old E-trex??!



My goal is to be able to read the charts to the extent that when I get back, I don't have to submit questions about how to fix my broken daggerboard, or worse yet, how to fix the hull that I ripped a giant whole in. Avoiding rocks is the goal!



Thoughts and opinions on what to get and why are appreciated!



Thanks,



Tim Johnson
