Portable Marine GPS Systems

Portable marine GPS systems are popular nowadays, especially those that come with a permanent mounted station in which the handheld can be placed.  Features to consider are the screen size, touch-screen, voice guidance, text-to-speech, Bluetooth capability, battery life, number and types of built-ins, real-time traffic, and memory capacity. Whether you’re hiking, kayaking, fishing or other outdoor activities, a portable GPS can enhance your enjoyment. Many cell phones not already programmed for GPS can be turned into one with a specific GPS program or adapter.  Some such adapters have human voice prompts and hands-free capability.
