The radio DOES come with built-in GPS. It's limited, but it shows your position, speed and bearing. If I remember right, it also has a MOB (man overboard) marker and waypoint logging capability. It transmits position with the DSC activation.
Badrano, It's fine. It's a functional VHF- not much else to say about it. Mine's biilt-in to teh dash. Bought it replace the original non-DSC radio when I bought the boat. Modern VHF's are pretty cool- they even have a "phone book". Plug in your buddy's IMSA id and call him. It rings just like a telephone on the other end.
What model number is it?
Edit: found it Standard Horizon GX1700 and go figure it does have a built in, learned something today :thumb:
