Garmin 172c or Lowrance 3500c
Hi All
I fish year 'round off Cape Fear, in Onslow Bay, at the Frying Pan Shoals Light Tower (yep - it still stands - inactive - at 118 feet) and in Long Bay down to Lockwood's Folly. I go off shore up to ~ 55 sm. I am looking to replace my ancient (but still very good) Garmin 65 GPS(vintage 1993.) Would appreciate your opinions of the two Subject GPSs, or any similar unit you might recommend. I use a Garmin Etrex Legend as backup. -- Cap'n Ed of the ss Hooker |

Would appreciate your opinions of the two Subject GPSs, or any similar unit you might recommend. I use a Garmin Etrex Legend as backup. My first thought (without looking up the details of either unit) would be to stick with Garmin, since you are already familiar with their products - and it will make it easier to transfer waypoints between the ETrex and the new unit. I had a Lowrance GM100 on one boat - as I recall, the user interface was somewhat different from my previous Garmin 65 and 12XL, which caused some minor confusion. -- Peter Bennett VE7CEI email: peterbb4 (at) interchange.ubc.ca GPS and NMEA info and programs: http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter/index.html Newsgroup new user info: http://vancouver-webpages.com/nnq |
