| The GPS 152 is a 12 parallel channel GPS
receiver loaded with a database of American cities and nautical
navigation aids such as lights, buoys, sound signals, day beacons and
tide data. Built-in memory of one megabyte makes the GPS 152 compatible
with Garmin's MapSource® Points of Interest CD. With this CD and the GPS
152, you add additional marine navaid detail to your unit. (Other point
of interest features from the POI CD-ROM will not be available for use
with the GPS 152.) In addition to larger memory, the GPS 152 is
compatible with the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), a technology
designed to improve the accuracy of GPS positioning to about three
meters.
On the outside, the GPS 152 comes housed in a waterproof case that’s
about four inches high and five inches wide. A large four-inch diagonal,
high-contrast display features 100x160 pixels for the ultimate in
readability. A simple keypad at the bottom of the unit makes entering
information easy, without blocking your view of the display. |
