GPS 126 &128
Internal or Remote, that is the Question
With its large, high contrast, 4.25" LCD display and a powerful
12 parallel channel receiver the GPS 126 and 128 are the ideal
choice for the navigator who wants more than a handheld—without
the cost, complexity and large footprint found in typical fixed
mount units.
The built-in GPS antenna makes the GPS 126 perfect for the
mariner that navigates from an open console, the GPS 128 with its
remote mount antenna is the choice for the enclosed bridge or cabin.
The GPS 126 and 128 marine navigators feature a customized
moving map display with user-selectable waypoint symbols and com-
ments, dedicated zoom keys help to make operation straight forward
and intuitive. User-selectable highway or compass navigation pages
provide graphic steering guidance to your destination, eliminating the
guesswork when you’re trying to find your favorite hotspot.
These powerful features combined with GARMIN’s user friendly
operating system make the answer easy.
