Chris, Up until last year, we had a Garmin GPSMap 2006C at the helm. We are now running with a Raymarine e97, which also interfaces with the autopilot and, eventually, other instruments (wind, speed, depth).
On the e97, we have downloaded to raster charts, vector charts, c-map, and Navionics Platinum which does point-to-point auto-routing, based on the boat data (beam, draft, mast height) that you plug in.

We have no GPS on our new to us 1981 C&C 30 and very little in the way of navigation other than dead reckoning, basic familiarity with the area and a compass at the helm. It’s fun because it’s like we just purchased a 1981 C&C and technology isn’t around yet. However every sail is a guessing game and I’d like to hear what others use for costal navigation. Whether it’s real tangible maps, a GPS system you swear by or an iPad with some software curious to hear what other C&C owners use to get find their way.
