GPS for water and land.

[FormulaOne]

Does anyone have a GPS that works on land and sea that they recommend?

At work, due to all the extensive travel, I qualify for a program and one of the perks is that they will buy me a new GPS (up to $500). I figured I might as well take the opportunity to get a new one that I can use for the boat also since my current one is a bit older.

Is it even possible to get a decent one for $500 bucks that works both on water and land?

YUP, Garmin 478, I believe they are discontinued now, but I love mine, and I believe they are down to around $500 after rebate.

Yep. I've had one for about four years now. Only wonk bug it has is you can not use their software on your computer and make up a specific route and transfer it over to the GPS.
Not a big deal at all if you are just using it for simple road trips and on the lake, but I used to do a lot of motorcycle road trips and tried to find every bit of twisty roads that went in the general direction I was heading and try to tie them all together. Can't do that with this unit.
