Any GPS recommendations, please, for a Mediterranean cruise?

I am considering buying a GPS receiver for our upcoming Mediterranean cruise (fifteen European ports plus two in Israel). I would like good maps and routing and track saving functions. My Garmin Etrex Legend is unreliable and does not have routing. My Garmin Nuvi does not save tracks and I am not sure how I would charge it.

I do not have a smart phone. I don't want to spend a huge sum on something I may not use again. Any recommendations? Thanks.

You might want to ask this in a geocaching forum. Those people absolutely geek out on GPS units.

So, your problem is that the new units (such as Garmin Nuvi) that are sold with European maps are relatively expensive (over $200). But your solution is pretty simply. Just go to E-bay and type in "Garmin Nuvi Europe" and you will get a few units for well under $100. The downside is that they are used....but so are any of the GPS units you get when you rent them from a rental car company.

I bought a $350 manufacturer refurbished Nuvi with a warranty for only about $150 from these guys - http://www.gpscity.com/. It had lifetime updates and lifetime traffic. I then got the Europe chip for the thing for half off at the same place.

Do some research. You can find some great deals.

Thanks Geldhart, Hank, and Don.

The european Gps are rater cheap in europe. I have one and buying the maps for north America and some Caribbean Islands costed me almost the same as buying a new gps with only the north America and Caribbean maps on it...
