Hello All -
I am not "versed" on marine GPS / Fish Finders. Back in the day, my father had a GPS type system, pre-gps, made (I believe) Lawrence. I remember it being called a Lorain "C." He did quit a bit of boating on Lake Erie and it worked ff of three or four towers, would keep track of your course, direction, speed, wind speed, water temp, depth, etc.
From what I remember it was a pretty advanced system for the time (late 80's). Like I said, it was not GPS and I think it would only work on lakes that had these special type of "towers."
I would like to find one if possible for good memories but I can't find it. Not even on EBAY.
Any tips or direction would be greatly appreciated.
