Guide Review - Garmin GPS 12

Finding Your Way

Garmin has put a lot of product in a small package. The GPS 12 is arguably the most popular hand held GPS unit. It comes with a nice array of add on options, including a small plastic console mount and a cigarette lighter power cord to save you on batteries. I prefer the roadway guidance to the compass heading mode, but it has both if you prefer one over the other. With 500 waypoints in its memory, you can store a ton of fishing spots. The waypoint input is like all of the handhelds - more than cumbersome. But that can be overlooked if you study the owner's manual and practice. Battery life is advertised as 12 hours. I can get 12 hours, but only with the most expensive batteries - the unit takes four AA batteries. I end up buying four new ones every trip just to make sure I can get home. The cigarette lighter cord option fixes the battery problem, but in rough water, I find the plastic console mount is not strong enough to hold the unit. So, I end up using it as a true handheld, and consequently need the batteries. I find this GPS to be an excellent value and a very accurate unit. I have never seen it be off by more than about ten feet, and often puts me exactly on the spot.

Sudah level tinggi dan ada tiga akun pula yang harus di relakan. Apalah daya saya hanya bisa pasrah dengan hati menggondok :-D, Tanpa banyak cangcingcong  saya banned juga itu COC dari hp yang cuman satu-satunya yang ...
