Looking for a simple GPS...
 
I'm looking for a simple GPS, like a Garmin 126 / 128. Don;t need a chartplotter unit. Want to mount it in my radio box to interface with other items up top. Would prefer a small fixed mount that will show output in TD's, thats why I mentioned the Garmin units. Small, cheap, black and white. If you have one in the garage or see one on craigslist, let me know.

Thanks,

Saw this on THT this morning. Probably a bigger unit then you want but the price isn't to bad for a color unit.

There was a garmin 128 grey scale unit on THT for $100 but it has sold.

If I see something else I'll post it here.

A Furuno GP32 is also good for what you're looking for.

Airslot 03-22-2010 11:27 AM

would love a gp32, had one on the Albe when we had it.

I just took off a garmin 216 my boat yesterday. It looks like this one:

I am not sure if I will still use the external attenna or even if I would be able to remove it (cable runs up the arch). I got the cable and manual.

Let me know if you are interested at all.

Airslot 03-22-2010 12:56 PM

Is yours a 215. or a 216? I can't find anything on a 216? I may be interested as it looks like it would fit the bill. PM me a price. Was hoping to find a simple unit without mapping, but I can't be too choosy...

Thanks,

Road King Cole 03-22-2010 01:18 PM

That was a typo, probably a 215 (I need to look at it at home to be sure). I have no idea how much it is worth.

If you tell me how much money you had set aside, I will just add another 10 bucks for good will...:beer:

or maybe 50 bucks would be good enough.

Airslot 03-22-2010 01:53 PM

Edit to add: It will barely fit. check your pm's

Going to measure tonight to make sure it fits. Do you know if there is a screen that can display position in LARGE numbers?

Thanks,

Don't think it had an "old age" setting...

Here's the link to the manual:

My wife laughs at me too, that's why I like taking the dog instead.

If he doesn't take it id like second dibs...

Kind of off topic but I have a mount and cable for a Garmin GPS/GPSMAP 76 that someone can have. You can pick up the standard GPS 76 w/o mapping for around $50 buck on ebay and here's a free mount for you. If someone wants it let me know.

and the cable will run into a VHF etc.

Pm sent csv

Road King Cole 03-26-2010 09:30 AM

Airslot,

OK, I have the antenna off the boat and will sell that as well. I am thinking I should get a little more with the antenna included. Do you want the chart card (it's a 1997 cape cod area chart)? PM me your address.

Airslot 03-30-2010 10:09 AM

Had a guy 3 doors down that had a Furuno GP30 in his garage that was given to me. Thanks for the effort RKC, hopefully Bcraigan can use it.

Road King Cole 03-31-2010 07:16 AM

No problem.

Bcraigan, still interested?

Otherwise I will probably put it on ebay when I get around to it.

phatdaddy 03-31-2010 05:25 PM

bcraigan 03-31-2010 08:55 PM
