can get you home as well - if the tides don't change on you and there ain't no water where you just came through
Man, we ran out the other day and it was so foggy you couldn't see the bow. Well, I turned on the GPS and told it I wanted to head for an area I knew would be away from shore then make my turn and head up the lake. Well, The GPS, made the track, IN A STRAIGHT LINE SO BE CAREFUL HERE, and hsd me underway with confidence. I'm going to go mark the known channel makers, etc that way next time it's foggy I can use them as points to get to, etc.

GPS won't keep you from running into another boat that is out there doing the same thing though - need radar for that.
You can also save a "Track" from where you put in to areas you fish regularly on a clear day and then follow that track forward or backward in the fog or dark.
To me a GPS is a must on a boat. My friend and I used one to navigate down a creek for about 5 miles out to the river channel. We were fishing in a tournament in Nashville last fall. The creek was about 50 yds wide and you couldn't see either bank because of the fog.
