Garmin 010-00601-00 GPSMap 545 5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned Loran, and 3 Marine GPS's I considered this unit to be the most useful when it comes to boating in a new area. Here in GA many of the rivers leading to the ocean doesn't have a buoy system and many of the rivers are very shallow, so this unit was very useful for me and would recommend buying it.Jim Boyd
