The road streaches out before us and we'd like to know if anyone has the benefit of "hindsight" on the subject of GPS units. I read recently that sun spots (or something like that) can cause havoc with this system. Any info on any aspect of GPS units and their use would be gratefully recieved.
I have a GPS/Map on my Blue water cat, one handheld on my tinny to mark my crab pots (and seriously I got lost in a creek system at night once without the GPS, NEVER Again, there are really big crocs up here!) and one in the car. I could do without the one in the car I suppose but not the others.
However, if I was looking to travel to unfamiliar places, find a caravan park or camp site you just can't beat them.
Sun Spots? Never heard of this but who knows :)
If I can see the sky there is no real problem, I have never had problem in a storm, but it could happen. Trees are the major issue; most of the GPS units have 12 or more satellite fixes so just look for a clearing and you have no problems at all.
Sorry about the late reply, the Kogan is for the road. I have had no problems with it and it is simple to use compared to others in the higher price range.
