I've used an eTrex Vista for years, always put us on the fish and brought us back between the jetties from those foggy albacore trips.
The color screen is OK, I guess, but like viewfinders on video cameras, many of us still prefer the old black and white display. I reckon you could get the black and white Vista really cheap(if they still make them). You can use it with mapping software on your computer. I think the "C" version uses a USB interface, the old B&W model uses a serial connection, which is pretty slow.
