Thanks to Gonefishin' , Randybenham, CrappieTexan, SteveJ, Spider rig man, for all your input. I ran into a deal that I could not turn down. Cost me less than $100.00. Now Ya'll have to teach me to use it. Ha Ha.

This tool will be put to good use, especially marking brushpiles and controlling my boat speed while trolling. Thanks fellows. John
Hey willsjwills:

Did you get the Map 76 or the 76? Either one will work for getting you back to spots you've saved. The first thing you need to do is go into "Set-Up" and make sure the WAAS is "Enabled". Then I would recommend setting your "Orientation" to "Up" or "Ahead" rather than "North". I just use the "Map Page" on mine, zoomed in to 30-feet and have it set to "Show Waypoints". When I get close to the waypoint I want to fish it starts showing up on the map and I simply move the boat towards it until the waypoint is under the triangle in the center of the screen, which represents your position. If the waypoint doesn't show up when I think I'm close I just zoom out until I see it and then zoom back in to 30-feet when I get closer.

If you didn't get a power cable you'll probably want one and you may want a Marine Mount to hold it securely on your deck while your fishing. You can get both from - http://www.jandhproducts.com/_e/Garm...0_10085_00.htm and http://www.jandhproducts.com/_e/Garm...0_10300_00.htm. Hopefully you got a data cable with your GPS so you can back-up your waypoints on your computer. A real good (and free) program for transferring waypoints is www.easyGPS.com.
