Title: Newbie questions.
#6
While I am a big believer in the USB GPS, there are some advantages of using a self-contained GPS such as the marine models offered by Garmin

- They can be used without the Mac.
- When used with the Mac, they can do the navigation. That is our software will use the waypoints and/or routes that are activated on the GPS. No need to have to tell both the GPS and our software about where you want to go to.
- They can be out in the cockpit while the Mac is safe/dry down below.
- Most are portable
