Our backup GPS is a Garmin 76 CSx which plugs into the computer with a USB
plug for use with the Garmin
charts to load
charts. But also it has a
NMEA port that goes into the USB so we have real time plotting (used especially on
Google Earth).
Below the handheld aquires satelites faster if I hold it up to an overhead window.
In the
USA the Garmin handhelds are less than half the
price of the same units in
Australia... $270 on
sale aprox. The USB GPS receivers seem to be over $100. So would you think its better to pay extra
money and get a full hand held plotter?
