The
GPS 152 is a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver loaded with a
database of American cities and nautical navigation aids such as
lights, buoys, sound signals, day beacons and tide data. Built-in
memory of one megabyte makes the GPS 152 compatible with
GARMIN’s MapSource Points of Interest CD. With this CD, you can
look up restaurants, hotels, parks, campgrounds, automotive
services, and marinas; you can even view address and telephone
information for most of the various services.
In
addition to larger memory, the GPS 152 is compatible with the Wide
Area Augmentation System (WAAS), a technology designed to improve
the accuracy of GPS positioning to about three meters.
On
the outside, the GPS 152 comes housed in a waterproof case
that’s about four inches high and five inches wide. A large
four-inch diagonal, high-contrast display features 100x160 pixels
for the ultimate in readability. A simple keypad at the bottom of
the unit makes entering information easy, without blocking your
view of the display.
