Plotter suggestions for use on the boat and car?

[homa]

I am toying with the idea of a small chart plotter
Standard Horizon models seem to receive good write ups at a budget price.
The Garmin GPSMap 276c has everything for sea and road navigation. I like that perfect for the car but the screen is a bit on the small side for use onboard. Is there anything else that can be used on the boat and car with a slightly bigger screen?
If it had road map facility I would want roads on the continent - mainly France, Belgium, Holland & Germany.

Many thanks

Don't know of anything with a larger screen that would still be small enough for a car, but to me, the Garmin 276 appears to be the perfect all-rounder. Takes memory cards that will fit the whole of Europe if you want.

Why do you think the screen is too small for on-board use? You can mount it anywhere you want (i.e. close by your helm); best system I've seen is the Ram-mount. See here

The screen size of the Garmin 27x series is fine for most boats, they are bright and clear.

The Standard Horizon is an outstanding model for the boat, but not really an all-rounder in the sense of the 278.
