Need Handheld GPS with C map compatibility

Hi,
Good luck with your Century Coronado. How do you like it? There are a bunch of us that get together for a cruise in the summer. We have done it 2 years in a row. This year we had 13 boats. We plan to cruise again next year. It lasts about an hour out of Wolfeboro Bay. What year is your boat? Are you in the Wolfeboro area at all?

BTW, I downloaded the Winnipesaukee map from the Garmin site and it works well in a Nuvi 660.

After downloading the Winni map and a boat avatar as well as a tow truck avatar, I learn a few things.

1. Turn the city navigator off.
2. Change from 3D setting to 'Track up'.
3. Change the detail mode to the highest setting. (Thanks Rick35)
4. Change auto mode to boat mode. (I don't have boat but changed to Bike).
5. I change the light display to 50%.
6. Change the vehicle to boat (Optional).

It seems to be working well. There is a factory reset button to change everything to the way it was. I wish there was a 'Winni' reset mode. It's a pain switching back and forth.

I 2nd that Broadhopper...I was getting no Winni data till I called Garmin tech support. He had me go into the tools..map data and turn off the city navigator and all was well. JETMAN..i did join the century cruise as it was leaving the Wolfeboro docks and was obviously last in line..my boat is '85 and navy blue..where were u in that parade?..also any thoughts on the best place(web or otherwise) to get information/parts for these boats?
