Has anyone used the GPS while skippering a boat? I'm a sailor and wondered
if it would be useful, or possible to operate the GPS while steering and
holding ropes. You don't have any hands free on the boat. Also, the unit
might get knocked around a lot, especially in strong wind. Does this affect
it? Has anyone invented a way of fastening the PK GPS receiver combo into
the open cockpit of a boat so it can still be used?
Cheers
Kylie

When you are on a trip like that set Poys of your own and you can
make a rout if you like or use them next time. I like to set
them so I can tell when the driver is turned around. Might not
ever happen but it would be nice if you need the coastguard.
