Default Re: Gps vs radar

Spidey,Now that's some funny stuff right there.

Grneyedloki,
AS for the radar and GPS difference.everyone explained it pretty well.The first day you get locked into pea soup fog,you'll realize how valuable Radar is.
We got stuck in some nasty fog last year,so thick that visibility was virtually non existent.
I knew there were a lot of freighters lurking out there.That scares the hell out of me.I'm absolutely petrified of the fog

The GPS will tell you where to go,and and if it's a chartplotter it will show the landmass and your location,but it won't show that 800 foot ship bearing down on you.

My next purchase is Radar.
