I've got 2 separate units, the GPS I bought used and doesn't have the background or computer loaded maps, but I can put in all my own points. I fish small lakes so all the fancy map programs wouldn't help me much anyhow. There's some good buys around for the older GPS's without the mapping. I paid $125 for a Garmin128.
