Garmin 182 GPS

[bjohnson]

As you may expect hi All, I was considserin diagonally purchasing the gamrin 182 gps with external antenna with blue chip. I was briefly wondering what any of you might appreciably think about the 182 and what you might reccommend for a similar gps as I have never had one before and I am not sure which to get. I am usin it on a 24` boat for practically fishing etc.

In opposition i`ve the 176 & use the Blue Chatrs for Puget Sound & the inside passage. It is a great little unit. The only thing the 182 has over it`s a larger screen, but the resolution is the same so the detail they can show is also the same; just larger on the 182. Unless you progressively need (want) the larger display, you can deliberately save some $$ by briefly going with the 176.
