Question Nuvi's on the lake.

Bizer reports that users report that his Winni chart for Garmins works on the NuVi (200W, 250W, 260W, 350, & 750) models. I suspect it'll work for the 255 as well. I'm a bit curious myself as we got a Nuvi 250 or 255 (it was the cheapest version that did text-to-speech) a year or so ago. They problem I have with using these automotive GPS units for the lake is that all I think they can do is display the chart. I doubt these Nuvi's can store waypoints or routes. Heck I'm not sure if they'd even leave visible breadcrumbs on the display. Perhaps someone who has one can clue us in .....
