Post; Whats your GPS?


I now own a Germin foretrex 101, a gift from my girlfriend. It's your basic GPS with all the basic functions. I love the size. My 2 beefs with the thing is you cannot adjust the light brightness and when you lose sat signal, the thing does not show your last known coordinates like different GPS's I've seen.

Garmin Etrex Vista. It's getting old, but it has pretty much everything I need. The only problems being that the loaded world map is absolute crap, and the alternative maps are ridiculously expensive.

I have a old school Garmin Etrex and a Garmin Nuvi 200W. Both work great.

We have a deck-mounted Garmin in our 22-foot Stamas, and we use an E-trex for mobile stuff- also mountable in our Boston Whaler

Excellent maps are available for Magellan products, far better than Garmin. I will buy Magellan next time, not sure what model, as they will have changed by that time.

I used to have a real old Garmin from the late 90's.
Now I just use my eyes, the stars and my brain. It's usually close enough.

Mine is a Mio. It does everything I need and I like the size of the display.
