For folks needing a cheap GPS the Magellan 315 replaced by the 320 is
a great little unit if you don't mind entering in way points, as it
does not have a aviation data base. I sat down with mine one evening
and entered way point info for the airports in our area using data
off AirNav http://www.airnav.com/airports/ and
AeroPlanner.com http://www.aeroplanner.com/ . I paid about $100
for mine new several years ago but you can pick them up cheap on
eBay. There were folks selling them new in the box. They have a
very nice display, with several different screens, one with very
large text (nice), plus they lock on quick and work great. Wish I
could say that about my $800+ piece of junk Garmin 90.

I echo Jerb's praise of the Magellan GPS's. I've had 4 (5?), used
mostly on the sea, and they've been reliable, fast, easy to use,
waterproof and they FLOAT! -- when you realize that most everything
goes overboard at one time or another, that's a good feature.
Apparently Garmin has forced Magellan out of the market now; but
they're great little units

Hi Russ,
i had a Magellan on my cat. Seemed to be OK but not easy to use. Manual
entry of lat and long No GPS was easy to use back then.
