Title: Best multi use gps question Post by: Mudneck on November 29, 2007, 07:14:26 PM Looking for one that is big enought to see in Truck and must be weatherproof or submersable for a couple feet for a short time because I would like to use it on Harley & in the Rhino.Mainly for the rain & splash factor not looking to sink,but you never know Anyone have a good combo unit like that?

It's actually a marine unit. Mine never leaves my side. it's taken some serious abuse attached to my yfz and i've had no problems...i wouldn't trade it for any other multipurpose unit

The 8 meg memory kinda sucks for loading maps, but it is working out very well on my boat and quad and is water proof and floats.
I also use a Garmin legend Cx that has been underwater and mud many times without missing a beat, great battery life as well.

Use it on my atv, truck, and my boat.
I think you would love the new model with the removable memory chip. I got mine on line before West Marine got theirs, and for less. Here's a link to their site. http://gpsnow.com/gmmap76cx.htm I just got back from North Carolina and I used it all over the mountains, color mapping is great. |
