So, thanks for all the input. I decided to go with a Garmin. The Oregon 450t. Seems real user friendly.

For the next question. What sort of ideas are there on software. The maps that come with it seem real general for Baja both for land and sea. I've found stuff on the internet, but damn. Mucho Dinero $$$$$$$.

I have the Garmin 76csx and have used it here in the La Ventana for years. First in my Gregor and now in my panga. It stores all my favorite fishing spots and its easy to find my way in and out. The base map is ok, but if the budget allows, I would add the Blue chart America for the Sea of Cortez for $160...its well worth it since it has detail maps and contours for Baja. ( http://my.garmin.com/mapCoverage/coverage.faces?currency=USD... ) It will run on batteries or I had it hard wired to my battery and used the Garmin dash mount on the seat next to me. Its waterproof and the plug allows you to remove it when you're not fishing.
