T&T: Talking to/from a Garmin

[trawlerphil]

(SNIP) So. Based on what I have read so far on this thread I guess I would
think it would be best to NOT buy a Garmin GPS Eric

It depends.  All I want out of GPS is a position.  I use my PC for
everything else.  This means the "brick" USB attached GPS units (Deluo etal)
make more sense for me.  If you are a neo-luddite or hate "confusers", then
a multi-function GARMIN or some other chart-plotter is best for you...

                                          Regards....
