For those who want the true mariner's unit - with all the features - the new GPS 3000 is an ideal choice. It packs everything a navigator needs into one easy to use, pocket-sized unit. Six easy-to-understand screens show you where you are, where you've been, and where you're going. The convenient "Go To" button will take you to any of 200 user-stored way points - fishing holes, wrecks, reefs, buoys, points, whatever you choose. The versatile track plotter with an adjustable scale displays way point information and allows you to pan and scan and "Go To" any highlighted way point. Slip the GPS 3000 into its carrying case or fix-mount it with the swivel bracket provided.

The optional power/data/external antenna kit provides additional utility, allowing you to connect to external power, making the unit NMEA and differential ready and providing you the ability to navigate below deck. Rugged, durable, and waterproof, the GPS 3000 is built tough. It features an internal antenna, and runs up to 17 continuous hours on just 4 AA alkaline batteries.

For convenience, reliability, and ease of use, the GPS 3000 is hard to beat.
