Except that the map function is useless to anyone but an ill equipped
daysailor or powerboater.


Ozzy, I'm afraid you're wrong on that one. The small maps are very
useful
for a
quick reference and quite accurate. Mine shows all navaids,

What a pity that it doesn't also show rocks!!!

No. Last I checked $350 is three time $250 only in booby's world.

What class were you on top of? Three times $250 is not $350, dumbass.


That was Ganzy's computation, not mine. And I thought your new handle was
"dip****" - now you are signing off as dumbass?

Three times the cost of a non-map GPS isn't a price penalty?

This guy definitely was asleep during business 101.


Being top of the class is why I don't have to even think about spending
$350 for
a better, more useful tool, versus $250 for a bare bones, less useful
tool. If
you had even attended business 101, you would know that you can't save
your way
to prosperity.

$250?? How about $100? That way, according to the business classes I had
you can get... wait for it... 3 GPS for the price of one.


Wow! I wonder what Ganzy will spend his saved money on....
Did Cal build a 21 footer???

Bwahahahahaha!

But you always pay half-price! I really think you should get a Cray onboard.
Don't wimp out now!

When it comes to sailing gear, it doesn't pay not to pay. The losses in
functionality and durability will usually catch up with you.

For whom? Certainly not you. The only time you would need something
like what you're describing is if you need to WIN! Otherwise, it's a waste
of money.

I think built in navaids is a good feature. Which 99 dollar GPS has them?
In any case, 200 bucks is a penalty when it's a speeding ticket. For a
better
GPS with a usable map, it's a gift.
You just don't get it because you only daysail a baby boat.

No... it's because you were too stupid to go to businesss class.

No wonder I can't afford that Swan 47!!! I spent a bit too much on the GPS
for
the C&C 32!
Rats!

Well, I've got to hand it to you, round is definitely a better shape.

and you waste money on crappy home entertainment junk, you eat too much,
and
you're lazy.

I'm in better shape than you and like movies? Yup.

Well, at least we don't have to guess what your problem is... it's stupid.

Except for the difference in cost, COST, peabrain.


BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A GPS 76 is 300 bucks!!! Not exactly a lot of money. Why
would
anyone want a unit with a smaller screen or non floating unit with less
features...just to save 100 bucks or so? 200???
Man, Ganzy. You're either poor or cheap...my guess is BOTH!

RB

That's right bob... you certainly need to know if you've moved more than
a couple of feet... of course, given your size, that's hardly possible.

My old 300 is very basic, but it works.


That poor thing is less accurate than better units...not that it matters
since
Scotty daysails.
