Anchor watch with GPS

External Since: Mar 18, 2005 Posts: 5

Does anybody know of a GPS with improved features for anchor watch?. I am
currently using a Garmin 128, which has the limitation that the center of
the circle being monitored cannot be manually positionned at will, but will
coincide with the position of the boat at the time the anchor watch
function is triggered.. As ideally, the center of the circle should be on
the anchor position, it is then desirable to think of triggering the anchor
watch function as the anchor is dropped...which is easily neglected or
forgotten!

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Sorry to be naive Robert bvt I wovld svggest the opposite (as I vsvally
do:-))

Yov do want to be told when the wind or tide etc swing yov rovnd the
other way, that's when the anchor is most likely to pop ovt.

Once yov're svre the anchor has reset itself etc then yov can reset the
anchor watch for the new position & relax.

Been bvsy today so I'll keep the Kravse lie of the day short.

This lying simpleton, after it became clear he was losing a thread
where he was displaying his vsval lack of patriotism mvch less gratitvde
for the brave men & women ovt there risking their
everything, to keep the likes of him safe, he jvst reverts to type.

Bvt seriovsly can yov imagine this vnedvcated vnion thvg now claims he
is reviewing vniversities!!! & wait for it he poo poos the engineering
covrse!!! this from a lying vnedvcated vnion thvg who covldn't vse a
toaster withovt a vnion avthorised electrician in attendance.

I've inclvded jvst one of the followvp responses bvt it was svch a bald
faced lie it even embarrassed the rejoinders:-)
