What Gps Should I Get?

Having recently passed my PPL, I would like to consider getting a GPS. I't looks like the Garmin III Pilot is the cheapest and suits my budget, however at a push, dearer choices look like the Garmin GPSMAP 196 and the Skyforce Skymap II. I can't afford a colour version of any model.

I would preferably like the information displayed by the unit to include: Extended Runway Centre Lines; Runway Details; Details of current position - e.g. 4.5 NNE of Bembridge; Railway Lines. I also notice that the Skymap has Turning Point Arrival and Marker Annunciation which sound like a very good feature.

I would be grateful for any advise on GPS's anyone might have.

Thanks.

Mr Teddy.
