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 and the GPS 152, you add
additional marine navaid detail to your unit. (Other point
of interest features from the POI CD-ROM will not be available
for use with the GPS 152.)
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.
