“Avoiding the eye of the storm”
We went out on an overnighter off Boca Grande in the Gulf of Mexico some 70 miles out for the full moon
snapper bite. Thunderstorms and lightning popped up all around us as a low-pressure front shifted northward.
Without the overlaid radar and lightning strike data displayed on our 3000 series plotter, we would have never
been able to evade the random movement of these storms, particularly at night. My family and I thank Garmin
and XM for this now indispensable innovation. For the offshore fisherman, this technology is more indispensable
than a cell phone is to a New Yorker.

“376C with weather a useful tool for fishing guide”
I recently purchased a GPSMAP 376C unit hoping its weather capabilities would help me while I guided my
clients to bonefish and permit in South Florida. I have never been so pleased with any piece of equipment. It has
delivered everything you advertised and more than I expected. It is the single most impressive piece of electronic
wizardry imaginable. I now know when it is time to head in or to wait out a storm; whether to go north to get
behind a passing thunderstorm or go south. I truly do not know how I ever got along without this technology.

“Marines depend on Garmin GPS units in Iraq”
Here is my team photo on our last day of operations in Fallujah, Iraq. I am missing one Marine Sgt, as I had to
send him home 10 days early to catch a MOS school, and I also am missing one of my interpreters. However, I'm
not missing the Garmins in the photo! We all had Garmin units, and they saved us on more than one occasion.
We were once engaged with the enemy, and having a 10-digit grid at my fingertips allowed the Quick Reaction
Force to be at our position in 6 minutes. I want to thank you again for supporting my SSgt when his unit needed
service. Knowing that I could "reach back" to the States was awesome. Semper Fi.
