[NLRS] Rovers & GPS

[mike]

Hi Jon,
I started out years ago with a Garmin III and was pretty happy with it, 
it lived much of it's life velcroed to my dash.  It had the computer 
interface and lighter adapter port on the back and worked well.  Alas, 
it was stolden out of my car last summer.  I replaced it with a Garmin 
76s.  It has the features of the Vista with a little larger screen and 
an antenna connector on the back.  Without the external antenna it has 
the usual sensitivity and receiving 3-5 sat's is typical.  With the 
external antenna connected it's amazing, I never get less than 8 sat's 
usually at almost full strength.  It reports an error of less than 10 
feet much of the time (this is with WASS).  It was expensive, almost 
$500, but I love how it works.
Just some thoughts

Mike
