What gps for boats!

Good mornin everyone, Cansomeone tell me what gps is good for onboard and also how is the best way to do a amp check. I have a nice watt/amp meter but not sure how im going to hold and check it at the same time?

Eagle Tree data logger is the best way to check the amp draw. It records a run and then you plug it into your computer to get the info off of it.

If you are in the market for a new ESC you can get both an ESC and a data logger in one. The Castle ICE controllers feature logging, and the HydraICE 240 is a stout ESC. I used it in my recent SAW record attempts pulling over 300 amps for almost 40 passes without a hickup. I was able to download the amp draw, rpm, voltage, ripple current, etc. onto my laptop at the lake. This helped me a lot in optimizing my setup.

I use an older model Garmin Geko 101 GPS, bought it used off eBay for $70 several years ago. There is one on eBay right now for $25......

I use the garmin Etrex.............works great and is not real big. I got it off ebay nearly new for 40 bucks and they are like $150 new................keep an eye out on ebay as you can run into a bargain like I did.

I use a Garmin Etrex H and has been fully submerged a few times. Still working great. I think its waterproof, if I remember right.

I use my cell phone with the app "android speedometer". Which records both average and top speed.
