Default Gps???

Be prepared for a bunch of answers. Part of the answer lies with how savvy you are about 1), boating and navigation, and 2), techie stuff.

I basically gave up boating a few years ago, but while boating I did not have GPS, so this sort of frames my answer. Personally, no peripheral device should ever take the place of basic navigation and COMMON SENSE.

So, that having been said, I can also say that there is nothing like having a little help when out on the Lake, particularly if bad weather comes upon you quickly.

Good luck with your boating, but, please, don't ever give up the basic chart and navigation skills in favor of a gadget.
