express168 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I am considering the purchase of a basic GPS unit to have in the boat with me, I don't need anything fancy, I am just looking for accurate speeds for trolling, some marking of waypoints of some hotspots ,and a route that I can follow out if I ever get lost or have the thick fog roll in on me AGAIN! The Etrec appears to suit what I need and I just wanted to hear from those who have one or has had one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Express168, Garmin makes a nice unit. But in that price range I would also consider A Magellan GPS unit, they are more accurate 3 to 5 meters (10 - 16 feet) and 14 channels when fog rolls in this would be helpful. The Garmin claims accuracy of 15 meters (49 feet) A considerable difference w/ a max of 12 channels Just something to consider. Here is a link for you too look over http://www.magellangps.com/products/produc...amp;prodID=1268 Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
