I have an older Magellen Map410 GPS with Cmap's Lake winni map on it. It also has Bizer's waypoint file installed, along with some others that I have put in manually. I don't go anywhere without turning it on, making sure I have my Bizer chart at hand, and stopping in unfamiliar areas to orient myself with the chart and the GPS. An invaluable tool, and my next boat (or maybe a year or two down the road on this one) will have a charter/plotter. Still need to use common sense, eyes, and the charts, but sure is a nice back up to what you think you are seeing on the chart and across the lake.
