I'm on fresh water and this would be mounted inside on the nav
station. But your comments are noted...and thanks.
You might consider offering it on eBay for $200 and see if
anyone bites. Magellan had units set up for aircraft use and these are
still selling well on eBay. You could then buy a marine unit with WAAS
capability for not much more.
Hmm...there's a thought. Or maybe to be completely paradoxical, I
could put it toward my "sextant fund".
Thanks. I'd never heard of Trimble, and although they are still in
business making GPS and location-finding equipment, they seem focused
on surveying and such, not recreational GPS...probably the margin was
too skinny.
