The GP-270ML was designed by the Micrologic engineering team which Icom America acquired earlier this year. There's nothing else like it at this price point on the market. A large, 4.5 inch wide LCD display offers a clear view of all readouts. Both the display and the operating keys are backlit for easy nighttime operation. Latitude and longitude are given in large numbers, and are also easy to see in all conditions.
Controls are adjustable to give readout information in English, Dutch, French, German or Spanish.
Up to 100 more user-programmable points may be added. The large LCD offers an impressive plotting display, allowing present position and previous track to be plotted with lights, buoys and waypoints. Waypoint names are user-programmable. The track is automatically recorded, and previous tracks can be stored in memory for future use. Paths can be manually followed or automatically followed with an autopilot.
