marine gps

Looking for a handheld GPS with Nautical Nav
charts (cartridge style) to use in the Southern
Hemisphere. Needs to be rugged. Any feedback
would be great.

Have a look at the Garmin GPSMAP 175 at Garmin's site.

Quote:
The GPSMAP 175 puts the power of digital chartplotting, featuring GARMIN's
new detailed marine basemap, in the palm of your hand. But don't let the
compact size fool you. What you get is a 12-channel GPS, plus features
previously only available on a large, fixed-mount plotter.

GARMIN's exclusive user-friendly operating software makes this navigation
wonder a real joy to use. Featuring a resettable trip odometer, TracBackTM
routing, a built-in simulator, advanced fuel and trip planning,
point-to-point distance and bearing calculations as well as arrival,
crosstrack, clock, timer and anchor alarms, the GPSMAP 175 gives you a fist
full of navigation power.

Couple all of this with a large, 4.1 inch diagonal, backlit display, an
ergonomically designed keypad, and the precision of GARMIN G-chartTM inland
or Navionics offshore digital cartography and you have a portable GPS system
that will take you anywhere in the world with ease and precision.
