Garmin GPS 45 Personal Marine Navigator

Knowing your present position is only part of any navigation equation. You also need to keep track of where you've been and where you are going. Waypoints serve as electronic markers that let you keep track of starting points, destinations, and any other important positions along your route. The GPS 45 steps up this challenge with outstanding navigating and plotting features, including 250 alpha-numeric waypoints, constantly listing the nine nearest waypoints, and 20 reversible routes.

Sometimes the high seas can be dangerous. To help minimize risk of serious accidents, the GPS 45 also features a keen MOB (Man Over Board) mode with bearing and distance to mark. The MOB function lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position for quick response in emergency situations. The MOB function provides visual steering guidance to the position. Although this function is intended to help locate people in the water, it can be an excellent feature for any item that may get thrown off ship in rough waters.

Designed for easy operation, the GPS 45 is a simple, one-handed device that is remarkably lightweight (ten ounces with batteries). The GPS 45 offers a host of powerful features that make marine navigation come alive right in the palm of your hand. Equipped with the MultiTrac8 receiver, the GPS 45 tracks and uses up to eight satellites simultaneously for fast accurate positioning, even in the roughest of waters. Built with a waterproof, dry nitrogen-filled case, the GPS 45 is ready for all-weather use. If you spend long amounts of time out on the water, the GPS 45, with up to 20 hours of battery life on four AA alkaline cells, won't fail you. All of these physical and technological features makes the GPS 45 an excellent choice for your personal marine navigation needs.
