Default Garmin 162

I have had one for at least a year. Great unit. The base map is off a few
hundred yards, but that is government problem. Base for 2/3 of the US is
off by that amount. Is black and white, so may not get all the detail that
a color charter can give you with the maps. Actually loads a farily large
area in the map memory. I am interested in how you like the Mapsource FH
map. Is fun to play with on rainy days and anchored up. I have a bimini
top on my boat. Figured out distance to Paris one day. Is a world map.

Getting ready to purchase the Garmin 162 GPS... anyone have anything they
think they need to share before I spend the cash? Opinions???

Of course, I'll load Mapsource Fishing Hotspots on it. That software

rocks!

Oh yeah... anyone interested in a used Garmin eMap? Great little handheld
unit.
