I use a Garmin 12XL (same as the 12, only it has external aerial which can be run outside the cabin) The beauty of the 12xl over the 12 is that it feeds happily off 12v, so no battery hassles

Definitely a workhorse rather than a flashy unit, but the main data page contains all the numbers I need, also has audible alarms for arrival at waypoint, proximity to hazards (you need to enter these as waypoints) or if you drift off course.

Been seriously looking at getting a voyager for the Yak, just a matter of convincing Santa. Would also be interested in hearing if anyone else has used these...

Cheers

Shimma I have the Garmin  GPS 2+ ( which is the same as the Garmin 12 GPS ) but the next model up . Been a good unit and never let me down , I ve taken it on charter boats etc.. to log the extra spots . I still use it on my boat and others as a backup. I also use for my work and it is invaluable . I'm looking to upgrade for a colour unit next ( later in  the year ) .

I have found the Garmen 72 to be great easy and simple to use and read good for story your X Spots etc.

If my fishing buddy can use one any one can - Just make sure you dont sit it upside down like some people :-}

I have had 2 Magellans. My current one is a Sportrack. Large screen, waterproof and 9 customizable screens.

The main screen that I use is the digital screen. This display has 4 readouts on it in big numbers: Bearing, Heading, Speed and distance to waypoint. With this screen all you need to do is ensure that the bearing and heading are the same and your'e on course, simple.
