Default Re: Gps vs radar

These are 2 seperate things that do seperate tasks. GPS will tell you where you are while a Radar will tell you where other things are. (IE. land masses, buoys, birds, clouds) I will not go offshore without my GPS. If I do, I will not be able to take a very direct route home as easily. I run a GPS with a chart plotter so I can see where I am on a map as I am sure most do. I do not currently run Radar but have plans on adding it. I will use it more for seeing birds while chasing Tuna and other offshore fish than I will for navigation.

Hope that helps...
