Post Duck boat gps
What does everyone use in the duck boat as a GPS. All I'm looking for is basically a satallite map that will keep your track. I don't want to use my phone as I have used google earth in the past. I want a mountable unit that's easy enough to see while driving

Do a search on here. I was in the same boat as you. I ended up with a garmin gps map78. I hated draining my phone battery and losing my maps when i lost service. It's a relatively cheap unit that you can add satellite imagry to through garmins Birdseye software(basically Google maps). I was able to download basically all of Southeast louisiana and a good portion of MS and still have room on my card. You make your own maps and it's really simple to do. I went with a handheld just so I could use it from boat to boat and some places I walk in to hunt. If you want a larger screen and don't mind spending more money the garmin montana is an excellent unit. I bought a cheap cell phone Holder that's removable to keep the unit in place while running my boat. I also bought rechargable AA batteries and keep a spare set with me and chaged just in case they go out in my unit. I strongly suggest a garmin unit, it's one of the best investments I've made.

A plain Garmin handheld, that way you can use it elsewhere and dont have to permanently mount it to the boat.

I'm looking for something with satallite imagery. Something with little bigger screen than an iPhone. To many close calls with an iPhone in the boat
