Gps Ii

Now I'm getting somewhere, thanks to your help so far untangling the GPS issues. On my previous boat, I used a laptop with Nobeltec software hooked to the old-style, position-only GPS receiver. This...

Very good overview! Thanks to all. I'm very fortunate to have a lot of new toys with this boat--more than I've ever had--and I'm looking forward to seeing it all work.

Excellent points! I should add, the bow pulpit was smashed along with the stanchions in Hurricane Ivan. The stern pulpit is a custom-made, cage affair and very tall. No problem there. This is what...
