    Default How to buy a GPS ?


    I am wanting to buy a GPS but don't know enough to even ask questions.
    What do you look for in a good unit?

    Welcome aboard. There are a ton of options with GPS's. What are you wanting to use it for?

    Some questions to get you started:

    Do you want maps on the unit?

    Handheld or mounted?

    Sonar or GPS only?

    if you decide on a handheld unit make sure it floats. I got the Garmin map76 and like it. Not sure about the others but the Garmin floats.

    I rely on a Garmin Map76 every day for getting back to my honey holes. www.JandHproducts.com has the best prices I've seen - http://www.jandhproducts.com/product...=garmin+map+76. I would recommend a marine mount - http://www.jandhproducts.com/_e/dept...%2D00&dept_id= and a power cable - http://www.jandhproducts.com/_e/Garm...0_10085_00.htm.

    For about 200 bux you'll be all set.
    FISH ON!

    Csellers, this link will tell you way more than you may want to know, but I'm sure you'll find enough info to know as much as you want to.

    We got a pretty good price recently on a Garmin Map60CSx from TigerGps.com, might give them a look too.
    I have a jig with a face like this!:eek:
