Hi!
Anybody out there have any pro's or con's on the garmin 168 unit?
Which antenna is better to use internal or external ? Does the blue
chart cd rom have a good intercoastal water way map? And is the
waterway cd-rom any good for intercoastal waterway's ? It's so
difficult to decide which unit to purchace. help!!
If there is a better choice for a plotter/sounder for the money I'm
open for suggestions.
I have a 152 with the internal antenna. Since it is mounted above the
wheel in a sailboat it is as clear to the sattelites as the previous
rail mount was, but doesn't involve any cable.
As far as I can tell, the only reason to get the external antenna is
iv you want the readout device to be under a deck that blocks the
signals.
