Unfortunately, I have found you really need two diff units for lake and auto. On the lake I mainly want to know mph, direction, previous tracks and waypoints. Waterproof is obviously important as well. For this I use a Garmin GPS 76. Much more detail is needed for auto, I use a Garmin nuvi. The good news is both have become very affordable lately. I bought a second nuvi last week for about 200 bucks, and a new GPS 72 or 76 is about $130. You can mount the marine unit yourself for 20 or 30 bucks if you dont mind drilling holes in your own boat. This is just my experience, others may have better advise.

The GPS 72/76 also shows red/green channel markers in coastal waters which is great around the gulf at night.
