Title: GPS
Post by: Shaftbomb on April 05, 2010, 19:53:39 CET
When I bought my Garmin 185 GPS I never bought the mediterranean map with it and now that it is out of stock worldwide im thinking of buying a new GPS.  What brand and model do you suggest guys?  I've heared of GPSes that have radar and fishfinder with them 3 in one.....?  True or not?  would appreciate any help.......

Just today I went to medcomms. They forward me for a Garmin GpsMAp 526s. Price 1900euro. A bit too much compaired with other garmin online outlets

The Lowrance HDS-5 models are good and support these features but the Radar dome is always purchased as a separate item and isn't cheap, it's just the fact that the screen can display as opposed to needing a separate display for the radar.

RLR are giving forum members good prices on the Raymarine kit, speak with Darius or Matthew Shaftbomb.
