I've never had a need for a GPS, I guess I'm just a map & compass

I don't want or need a lot of bells and whistles, I do want a USB
port that can connect to my Mac, waterproof and long battery life,
but basically I just need something to tell me I'm in the general
vicinity of where the floatplane is going to land to pick me up.

Anybody on roff have suggestions in the under $300 range ?

I like the Garmin GPS Map 60CX but it's over $300 but this is the same
unit without the color:

Only problem with Garmin is the MAC operating system, but Garmin now
has Mac interface you can download for free so it communicates with
the system but IIRC you still need the Windows shell (I use Parallels)
to run their map software but that may have changed in the past year.
