Yea that ain't right

May not be "right" but it ain't far from being true.

I got tired of replacing batteries in my hand held Lowrance H2O; Now I run it on external power cord and just keep the batteries in it for back-up or emergencies.

I wanted to bring this thread back to the top, becaues I'm looking for a new hand held also....Do any of you guys know anything about the Garmin Oregon 300? Thats the one I'm looking at right now.
