I am looking for a simple gps for a boat. Nothing too special, no fish finder etc., just something recreational for lakes. No fishing gps please, just something easy to use and tells me the depth of the water.

Just like the title says. I am not looking for any specific water ways or anything like that, just a general direction and location finder. Will a card gps allow me to do this?

I have a USB based GPS unit and a laptop. So rather than drop $1,000 on a marine GPS , I am hoping to find decent software and just bring the laptop out with me. Who makes good software for this? I am searching the internet but not finding a whole lot.

I plan to move my boat from a lake in PA. to the Hudson River to expand my cruising. I want to cruise he intercoastal waterway in the northeast eventually and take my boat to Cape Cod and Nantucket, where I vacation every year. Do I need a chartplotter or is a gps sufficient?

This boat has a Magellan GPS and will have a Laptop running whatever NAV software this setup will require. The Idea is to be able to have the boat travel a route as programmed into the GPS waypoint by waypoint. if the PC is not required great!

Adding a gps/depth to boat. The boat has a fishfinder on it already. Will the two transducers interfere with each other?
