Here is a funny one, maybe somebody can shed some light.

I have two gps units. the one that came with the boat (all data above) and a hand held Garmin 76 off my old boat. The two give quite different speeds, 7-8 percent off, with the Garmin giving slower speeds. Makes quite a difference at 25 knots. Anybody know why?
Is one reading in nautical miles per hour and one reading statute miles per hour?
I use a hand held 76 also and last summer it started acting strange also. Slower screen updates and late on the "point" alarms. Didn't they turn off a couple satellites last year?
