The images I reduced by 50% so they would be more web friendly instead of the scanned in size. So you could download them and enlarge them by 50% and they should still look ok.

Garmin GPS 72, oldie but goodie - and anchor drag alarm - 2015

Currently anchored in Zihuatanejo beginning of March 2105


This old Garmin 72 GPS was advertised on the VHF net 22a in Zihuatanejo (at 9:00 am except during Sail Fest then 8:30 am) so we purchased it from Dave on s\v Falcon for 200 pesos (about $15.00 USD). We want to take way points at the bow when we drop the anchor. It runs on simple AA batteries and is water proof and floats. The date on it we have not been able to update. It supposed to get it’s info by satellite. We have tried the soft key combinations but to no avail. Not having the correct date will prevent us from using the celestial data. Not a big deal to us.
