The Garmin GPSMAP 182C 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 on trips, hunting, fishing or camping. Suggestion: 1. One of the best ways to protect investment is to purchase a Protective Case for this GPS. You can find a top of the in line protective case that protects while allowing full viewing and access to all the features of your GPS unit.

Purchase a 12v auto charger so that you can always keep you unit charged before heading out cross-country. Purchase quality power and data cables at: http://stores.ebay.com/FIS4HER1-COM_W0QQssPageNameZL2 3. 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: http://stores.ebay.com/FIS4HER1-COM_W0QQssPageNameZL2 Cheers – Fis4herRead full review
The Garmin GPSMAP 182C GPS Receiver. 5 Stars! Large color screen. Tides, sunset, sunrise for your local area. Charts available for an additional price and when installed will show contour lines and depths. The soft pad buttons are easy to use. We like the tracking feature. This allows us to use the same route the next time out. We navigate through a lot of shallow waters and to have a tracking line to follow either getting to the location or to follow to get back home really makes the trip more enjoyable. This unit has been a round for a while. Newer chart plotters do not have the large screen. This unit does. We like this for our boat and our area.
Many pages of info and data. Fast satellite acquisition. Bright screen. Sad to say the unit has been discontinued by Garmin. Unlike new units this one needs an external antenna, but has a built in data base of maps.

I saw a unit just like this on my cousins boat while visiting him in Rockport Texas last year. I was so impressed with the accuracy, specifically tracking ourselves home in a bad storm, that I just had to have one. The tidal charts and mapping capabilities make boating not only safer but productive, and surely more economical in these heightened gas price times. Clearly, Garmin has utilized its research in an outstanding manor this time. I have some aircraft flying experience and this, in my opinion, by far is much easier than any instrument flying system I have ever used. It can make the amateur sailor, such as myself, look like a professional with minimal effort. Thanks Garmin and rest assured I will tell everyone that I come in contact with in Crystal River Florida what a great product you have. Jack HiltonRead full review
We are pleased with our 182c gps. This purchase kept us from having to run new wires in our boat before leaving on vacation. Glad we found the same type we originally purchased years ago. Saved a lot of work.
