Garmin- New GPS

[Don G]

Garmin is coming out with a new GPS receiver that has a 10Hz per second refreshment rate. Is this better than HB & Lowrance?

It's faster than either currently updates.

Oh Boy Don, You are really trying to spend my money! How about you go first and let me know what you think.

garmin GPS has always been solid. I haven't been a fan of their sonar, but I'm basing that on experience from 4-5 years ago. A lot may have changed since then. I'm interested though.

Great refresh rate & my Garmin handhelds were always fast & easy to use & accurate, but that said one still has to rely on the Government GPS signals.

We had signal issues yesterday. Both GPS got screwy. Open water.

DonG, does this unit handle the CHIRP technology? That is broadband that uses a special transducer that sweeps multiple frequencies. I read something in the Bass Times (I believe) about this new sounder technology.
