With a clear monochrome display and highly sensitive GPS, it’s perfect for either the cost-conscious sailor or someone wanting a back up. It stores 1000 waypoints and 100 tracks. The features include virtual starting line, man overboard, tack assist offcourse and anchor alarms and race countdown timer. The model is robust yet light and it even floats. 18 hours of battery life with two AAs. What Garmin are also really good at is designing tech that we idiots can use pretty intuitively. All you could want really and without the battery-draining colour screen.
