    I just got Garmin’s Street Pilot III a litle while ago. That is a handheld, full color display. It even will talk to you and give you directions.

    Hey Pax, How do you like the unit? Have you had a chance to try it out on the water yet? Any “hands on” info would be great to hear about so everyone can see why they might want to buy this one over the other models, etc. Thanks, Bill

    What does the color display and all the whiz-bang do to the battery life? That would be my biggest concern if looking at a feature-rich unit.

    I have not seen one yet, but I’m waiting for someone to come out with one that has a battery pack like a cell phone and a charger stand/car charger with it.

    Have not had time to use it on the water yet and am still learning (as I probably will for quite some time) but it is a fun little toy. I used to use an eagle explorer without the mapping and that worked fine too. Don’t know about battery life yet. Colored display is really just a bonus. I’ll try and keep you informed—————————————Pax

    what’s the price point on a unit like that, if you don’t mind my asking? I’ve been debating on whether or not to purchase one.
