nebulae Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Have always used a Garmin GPS on our narrowboat. Gives an accurate speed over the ground and easy to use mounted in front of the helmsman. In some ways a bit ott for a narrowboat,but as it only cost pennies second hand,a no brainer. Makes it easy to judge correct throttle setting. Surprising how you can ease off the throttle and not reduce speed over the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't cost anything if you already have a smartphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
