Wayne, Have been using a Magellan 2000 for about four years now and it satisfies all my requirements even though it was one of the original ones that only accesses three sats. I have used it to cross (most of) the states in four different aircraft and now have about 100 waypoints entered. I use a Flight Guide to get lat/long or by overflying. Takes about a minute to enter one and then by using the "go to" function can go from point to point by simple one button selection. With one of these and a map can go anywhere without worry.
Hope to get 80AH in the air within the next couple of weeks. Haying (and rain) are the only things delaying this now.
