gps course

[Bob on Stronsay]

They are not complicated Pete (Well my combined Lowrance GPS/sonar isn't).

 

Once fitted you could be working with my one within a couple of minutes with just the manual.

 

Just press a button twice and you have marked a waypoint (Say your harbour entrance). Steam out to were you want to go and do the same again and you have a route marked out. You will also know how fast and what direction you are travelling or drifting etc.

after a coment from someone on here that i shouldn't be near a boat i dont think i will be posting anymore help ideas

Don't let an idiot get to you, I don't know or care who it was but there will always be one somewhere. Ignore it, and please keep posting ideas, I'd like to hear them anyway.

I am new here, so don't really want to upset folk here too much but being generous I would guess that Toerag made a few assumptions about your level of experiance when replying and perhaps could have phrased things a bit better - but probably had good intentions - as I am sure you are aware it can be easy for folk to get themselves into trouble on the water.

 

For certain I will be asking lots of "dumb" help questions in the future, as having had a trawl through only part of this website I can see that my knowledge of the fishing side of things does pale somewhat compared to other folk here - even if in this thread I have a bit to contribute from just general "messing about in boats" for a few years (or so )

 

Sorry that I am too far away to help with the GPS in person.

Sounds like you got Toerag on a bad day. He's usually very informative and supportive.
