welcome Gordon. i like the garmin handed units. i have an older unit that has done well for seven years. i have used the new colored units and they are nice. if you M17 has a 12-volt system with a 12-v power port get the 'cig plug' option so you can power the unit. a GPS will 'eat' a battery set in about 4-5 hours. on my M17 i mount the GPS on the compression post. it is easy to read from there and i've had no issue getting a satellite signal. where is your M17's home port? :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Fri, 9/21/12, Karen Saville <karen.saville@yahoo.com> wrote:
