So, GPS apparently is too short/common a word to search for, so forgive this probably stupid question.
I just want basic GPS. I don't need anything fancy. Something to put my lake charts on, maybe the depth feature (I recall reading whats on my yamaha might not be very accurate?). Seems everything I find is just incredible overkill for my needs. Unless there is one with a beerfinder, I'd probably pay up for that.
Any recommendations to just handle basic chartplotting so I don't get lost in Bimini? The less I spend on GPS and VHF, the more I get to spend on stereo. But I don't want to have to do it again later, either.
And, I have no clue what to look for in a VHF unit. Heading to google now, but I'll listen to any suggestions there too. We've got a pair of cheap handhelds for walking around, so just looking for a fixed unit to keep in the boat.
Both are primarily just for Bimini, and going in my 2011 242LS.
Thanks!
