Digital camera reviews of Garmin GPS 152 4-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS
Digital camera Review: 6,000 nautical miles later, it's still my primary gps
Summary: 5 Stars
To help you better understand my review: my approach to boat systems is KISS -- keep it simple stupid. I always have paper charts and have written directions to my destination showing directions of legs, distances, etc. If you're into bells & whistles, you'd be unhappy following me. If you're into highly functional stuff, that's me.
This GPS has taken me from from 44 degrees north to 13 degrees north and from 63 degrees west to 95 degrees west without fail. It feeds lat/long to the EPIRB, VHF, and SSB. I upload waypoints and download tracks with my laptop using Fugawi software. Enroute data is sent to the cockpit using a Clipper repeater.
It does exactly what I want it to do with minimal space and minimal electrical consumption. As for ease of use, I've used several GPSs over the years. None of them are "intuitive." Some are much worse than others. This one is just fine.
