GPS Units
 

Who has what GPS units in their boats. We are lloking to replace the existing one we have with a new color unit. What do you have and what size screen ??

Standard Horizon 155C with The newer NT+ chartsthat show pictures of the marinas and stuff.

Bought it for 350 on ebay. Not top of line but wroks great and provides DSC.

Why on a 26? Boating in the Gulf is like one big puddle.

10 inch won't fit on the dash.

Garmin 182c, works great but at speed the screen is a little hard to read. It might be a different story on a bigger boat

Bill we use Northstar 6000i and love it. The new North Star 7000i has weather overlay using xm radio. Pretty sweet unit. Give me a call if y ou need any more info.

Garmin 172 c the new one out is the 440

Can't see it in sunlight with polarised sunglasses.

It depends on the angle that you are viewing it from. I have mine mounted almost vertical and it's OK

I have seen boats where they have built a wedge behind the unit to bring it more vertical. Is this what you did?

I took off the stock plexi fairing and had one built longer and higher. That left room under the fairing to build a flat area , kind of like an Apache, to mount the GPS. I'll take a pic

We use the Standard Horizon 175C in our 31. It is the next size up from the 155C. Outside it is 9.2" across and 5.6" high. The screen is 4/6" X 3.4". At 85 MPH you can still see the colored screen and know where your going. It uses the C-Map NT+ C-Cards. Happy Shopping!!

Send me the old one...got any chart maps for it?

You still want to buy the old unit. Lowrance 2000 Globalmap. the only chip I have is for NJ.

I looking to buy a new gps for my 358. Anyone know anything about the Northstar with the Smartcraft?

I installed a Garmin 440 . At first i thought it would be too small . But surprisingly it works great . My dash space is very limited on my Top Gun . Great price and the G2 Blue Chart has great detail .

Hey 1bagger, how do you like the 440 now that you have been having it a month or so? Ive been torn between the 276C and 440, but leaning towards the 440 since the detailed maps are built in.

Went with the Lowrance 7200C. Almost fit in the hole that the old one came out of. Had to cut aboout 1/2in to make it fit right. Works great and visible in direct light.
