Trimble has always had a reputation for very high end GPS units. Its

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.
