And relatively cheap. All I need is to find my way back to a starting point, and it would be cool if I could move it from car to boat. Maybe even check out my actual speed.

Suggestions for a basic GPS system, preferably water resistant?

I only ask because the GPS systems run from $55 up to $800 and I am not sure what I need for what I am using it for. I don't want to spend $800 if I can get what i need for $50-100...

I use a Garmin e-trex. You can mark your way points and you check speed km/miles distance travelled etc. Its water prof but it doesn't float. It's great for the water but not good for road travel. I ended up getting a tom tom for the roads much better. The e-trex is cheap small and does the job on the water. I use it for my pwc.

I've got a Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx. It's waterproof, floats, you can add lake map information to it. It's a sweet little unit and can be had on eBay for around $230 shipped. We use it only for our boat and quad. For the Road we've got a Pioneer AVIC Z2 in our car and a Pioneer AVIC S2 in my truck. The S2 is cheap and portable but only works well for onroad situations.
I ended up with a TomTom One. Simple, cheap at $169, and does all I need it to do, and then a BUNCH more that I will never learn to use...
Not waterproof, but I think I can make it so pretty easily.

What's the difference between GARMIN GPSMAP 76Cx and the 76CSX? It appears that the 76CSX has compass and altimeter functionality for $15 more on Ebay.
Anybody using their GPS on a PWC? I would like to mount it to my RXP. There is a mount on Ebay. I wonder if I could mount that to the flip-top lid on the compartment between the seat and steering column?

I'm pretty sure that's the only difference between the two. There are a number of different mounts for these and they are very solid. We have a handle bar mount on the quad and I can almost get thrown off but it doesn't come out of the holder. I don't have a mount yet for the boat.
