How to Use Boat GPS | Basics of Boating

Garrett Paquette is a professional bass angler who travels across the US to compete in tournaments. That means he's frequently on unfamiliar lakes and other bodies of water. For that reason (and many others), Garrett relies on his boat GPS for safety and more.
So, is a Boat GPS necessary? Having GPS on a boat is only truly mandatory for using autopilot features. Outside of that, you may not absolutely NEED it- but it's a fantastic tool to have for better fishing and overall safety.
Here are 7 of Garrett's top reasons for investing in a boat GPS:
1. You can track the port you launched from, making it easier to find your way back
2. Track lines allow you to see where you've been, so you're not needlessly fishing the same spots
3. GPS allows you to see your boat's position in a body of water. And, if your GPS has an anchor alarm feature, you're able to tell if your anchor is slipping
4. You can track your speed and the general direction you're headed
5. You can see underwater obstructions and navigation markers
6. It's a great tool for route planning
7. You can set a waypoint, which is great for returning to your favorite fishing spots- or for marking the location of a man overboard situation, to help search & rescue teams
