Garmin GPSMAP 162 Sounder GPS Receiver

Created: 10/06/05
The Garmin GPSMAP 162 Sounder GPS Receiver is an excellent handheld GPS for the money. The manufacturer has installed many user-friendly features that make the first time buyer or the professional happy. They manufacturer has excellent customer service and many additional add-ons to make this unit an extremely versatile GPS to be used in town, on trips, hunting, fishing, cycling, hiking, four wheeling or camping.
Suggestion:
1. Purchase an Amplified External GPS Antenna for the unit. The internal antenna is ok but will become intermittent in high buildings, cloudy skies and stormy weather. Purchase a quality, high gain remote antenna. See specification on 28dB and 55dB GPS antenna at:

Perfect unit for small boats operating in inland waterways such as the Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries. Super easy to use. Easy to install. I have both the internal and external antenna models on my two boats, and have had good luck with both. My internal antenna model has worked flawlessly for almost 10 years.

I have used several Garmin gpsmap 162 and have found them to be reliable and accurate. They are not the latest screen technology but they are great for the price.

Only had a chance to use it once. It seems to work fine. I have several hand held GPS and this one isn't much different.
