Whos Andy? Whats his email?

HyperBaja, I have a Garmin Handheld I'll sell cheap. You can't download maps to it but you can plot waypoints and check your speed. I think it was $150 new 3 years ago. $50 with the dash mount.
I got a Garmin 176c for Christmas.

GPS
 
I have a brand new Garmin 162 that I had installed in my new boat, but I want a new color unit. I will sale it for $300 with all the cords and external antenae. Trust me though, the black and white units do not do well in bright sun light. I had mine on and my buddy brought his new color unit on a plate with suction cups and put it next to mine (his had the charts) and there was no comparison.

I have a garmin III+ I would sell to move up to the Garmin 176c.

I have the Lowrance GPS/Chart Plotter/Depth Finder. Paid $700.00 for it @ Boat US. Will do water temp too with additional sensor. Does everything ! Very nice unit. Comes with software so you can download your area of cruise into the unit. Also comes with a magnet so you can put the antenna on the car if you wanted to use it in an automotive app. Also came with a nice sturdy cary/storage case.

Have had it for 3 years. Works great, very accurate as far as markers etc. Worth the $$$$$. You can split the screen and have a view of the bottom & depth along with your course at the same time. I used the transducer that came with the unit and mounted it inside the hull. I have been as fast as 65mph and the depth finder and bottom view still showed up. Past 65 I lost the depth finder and bottom pic. GPS chart still worked fine.........
