[Rhodes22-list] GPS Choice

[Bob Keller]

I tend to agree.  I use a Garmin GPSMap 478 because it is a portable (not handheld) chartplotter that has all the maps for NA.  Portable works for me because I use it on both my powerboat and R-22.  But as a chartplotter, the 4" screen is really too small to actually plot routes and plan trips.  So instead I use Mapsource software on my laptop and transfer the points and routes to the portable unit.  If you don't want to do that then get a large chartplotter.  See pic attached.BK
