[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 505468, member: 22613"] You'll find the GPS on that Garmin to be adequate. There is no "map" but it will show any waypoints you have created and previous tracks, just a very basic GPS function. The track feature should be on by default, that can really help you as it will plot your departure route (theoretically when there is still some daylight and you can see), and you can then carefully follow it back on the return trip when it's dark. If it is not on, you can toggle on/off, and delete tracks in the settings. There should be a button for dropping waypoints. Any time you run over something interesting, hit that button and you will always have that location saved, within a few feet. Many people also use marker buoys, find the spot, drop your buoy, back the boat off a little and go to fishing. The biggest problem with such a small unit, it is really handy to run the GPS/2D sonar together in split screen, on a 4" unit the screens start to get pretty small when you do that. [/QUOTE]
