Cruising America's Great Loop and other inland routes
View all threadsThe Standard Horizon VHF/GPS/AIS GX 2200 is the best thing since sliced bread. For little more than a VHF you get self contained GPS and AIS receiver. The draw backs, the screen is very small with poor lighting and contrast, easily corrected with a bright LED flashlight. Jon on Valentine
Do yourself a favor and add an AIS xmitter......let others see where you are. Especially useful for doing THE LOOP in the rivers when you cant visually see beyond the next turn.
