What GPS to buy?
 

Hi folks, I’m thinking about getting a GPS for my 2005 29’ Fountain. Anyone have any recommendations on a make/model?

So many options it’s confusing – handheld, mountable, fixed mount, internal or external antenna, apps for iPhone, etc.

Most of my boating is on the California Delta, and I sometimes venture off to the bay and Pacific coast.

Thanks in advance.

just bought a Northstar 550 good size screen for a smaller gps,have not used it yet but I think it should work out fine,

boatnt, can I ask where you bought it and what was the price? I received an e-mail with one for sell and the price didn't seem to bad but don't know anything about Northstar and it seems most people say Garmin. What inland lakes does it come with? Does it have the great lakes or do you have to buy chips for different areas?

Sorry I can't help you with your question on what GPS to buy.

buy a garmin they are the best I use mine in the rain and snow on all my hunting trips. never had a problem with any of them. :drink:

I wouild get a mount type gps but still make it removeable for theft. internal antenna usually works prety good,no hassil's running an antenna cable and antenna. I have had good luck with Garmin and Northstar. personal preference.

got it from Livorsi

Do any of the GPS 's come with a White case or are the all Black and Gray in color?

I was able to get mine in white from Livorsi

Ditto & the prices on there Xmas flyer/emails that they sent out for christmas are awesome :eek:

happy holidays

The price from Livorsi does seem great I am just a bit concerned that no one has posted their experience with the Northstar. Are they any good?
