This is a handheld GPS receiver with a number of additional features which should prove attractive to boat owners.

Additional features include a barometric altimeter with automatic pressure trend recording and an electronic compass for accurate headings when standing still. It has a USB connection for loading more charts and maps and it is powered by two AA batteries. Amazon are offering it for just under $300.
