one word...EBAY!! I have found great deals on ebay on different units. Currently have a Garmin 178C on it's way that has all the capabilities of both depth and mapping gps...a unit that ran brand new just a year ago at $580, I got new for $335 shipped.
last year, I purchased an Eagle 500C GPS for $350 brand new...it sold for over $400 in last year's catalogs
My first GPS was a Garmin 126. Refurbished I paid $120 for it and sold it for the same amount 4 years later.
Lots of choices there, and if you are careful enough, you can find a great deal on a good used unit that has everything you need but the chip.
