UK. New gps/fishfinder/depthfinder required. Advice please
Hi,
I have always used garmin products but now need a new gps find/depth sounder and would like some advice on what to avoid/buy etc and the advantages/disadvantages of any brand. I have looked at the garmin uk website but I cannot find anything suitable for marine use.We are in the UK and any tips on where to buy this kit would be handy too! Thanks in advance |

: Sorry - 28ft motor cruiser - Cleopatra 850....no pool unfortunately! Thx http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap178c/ It's only a hundred bucks more than the monochrome one but lots easier to see. WAAS GPS gives you position within 3', nice mapping sounder to keep you off the bottom and show you the "trend" into shallow water I worry about too much. At $642, I get heart palpitations. It's a nice unit from a solid company....but, God that's a lotta money for a little box. It's got two NMEA 0183 inputs and a DSC data output for your VHF if it has DSC emergencies.....but no Garmin CANet to hook up to other networked instruments Garmin is now producing. That'll cost you $200 MORE in the 298C: http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap298/ What kind of boating do you do? Cruise locally where you know all the places or cruise off into the sunset into unknown waters where you need the charting features more? Weekending in your local rivers, you hardly need a GPS at all, especially one with full color chartplotter. For those waters, a $139 monochrome depth sounder is what you need to find the fish and watch the bottom come up uncomfortably close to that amazingly-priced outdrive foot that costs the same as your tow vehicle....plus labor, of course. Local boaters don't need color chart plotters for weekend cruising at home. The prices have all gone crazy, of course, in proportion to the number of pixels on the screen, unlike the computers in your house that keep getting more and more powerful for less and less money. NMEA is to boat electronics what OPEC is to oil. Are we SURE we NEED a new one....or do we REALLY need a new sonar transducer and some 409? |

: no pool unfortunately! Not to worry....I saw a blue tarp "Redneck Swimming Pool" laid out in the cockpit of a sloop, filled with fresh water, full of some very nice-looking females in breeding condition this weekend at a dock in Charleston. The water was about 3' deep and, with proper libation in hand, that sloop had the neatest "HOT TUB" warming in the South Carolina sun.....(c; Isn't that why cockpits have self-draining decks? |
