Handheld GPS
Submitted by Adam Gallash on Wed, 2007-05-09 21:09
Does anyone know any good online stores to buy handheld GPS and brackets from. I want to get one that has large memory capacity to store lots of spots, but also contains detailed contour lines and relatively decent screen size for a good price. I have a GPS72, but it has no map contours and not much memory space. The boat has GPS, but I need it for when I travel down the coast also for when I head out to sea.
Cheers,
Adam

Great for the tinny. I bought mine on ebay and got a good price on the navionics card as well.Haven't required a bracket. I keep mine on top of the tackle bag until required.
