Hi,

can any of you recommend a GPS to add to my FF (Cuda 168) please ?  I want it for recording the thousands of Spot X's I constantly find.

cheers

Yep they just keep going - i've ha one for years. It's still going strong and they don't mind a salt water wash on a regular basisLOL
The solution to any problem - work, money, love, whatever - is to go fishing - the worse the problem the longer the fishing trip should be.
