Is boat speed/distance traveled provided by this unit

Yes the speed is provided on screen but not distance, but it is shown as maping on the gps program...

Don't know. Found that the Bluetooth is a little sensitive. Currently installed on boat with fluctuating power, & has caused a funtionalty issue. Found a work around but not smooth. Other Than that, great unit. Good sound.

I know it will give directions, I use it for sailing.Velocity made good , heading, etc.I have NOT come close to using ALL the functions !!I LOVE IT.

If you have the GPS module plugged in, it records speed. can be incriminating, so i opt'd to not get the GPS module as i have in-dash gps with all that stuff

If you are referring to an adjustable chart speed, yes. If you are talking about declining performance based in the speed of the boat, I don't know. I use mine on a float tube so it works fine.

If I understand your question correctly, it lets you know if you are going over the speed limit set. It also lets you know how many miles travelled and how long the trip took.

It comes with a transducer that is mounted on a suction cup that sticks on the boat's transom. The transducer is also attached to a long cord that goes to the main unit. So he should be good to go!

No, does not give you distance travelled. That's your odometer that does that. It does let you know ETA and miles to next turn. It quietly recalculates when you don't go the way it first chooses. Have traveled N 2 S Canada to Florida using and its been so much more helpful then our Garmin. Very happy with it.

No, it requires power from the boat's battery. It is a very easy job to wire it in, and judging by the size of the wire, it draws very little power. It is also a long wire to run where you need it.

Roxy, Unfortunate it does not display boat speed. I believe the 176 version has that function.

I don't know. I have been using my unit for plotting different fishing spots.

It is variable speed. I don't know how I would measure whether it goes to or beyond the specified speeds.

It will measure speed if you purchase the separate speed wheel (like a transducer with a paddle that measures speed.) I just use my handheld GPS to do the same thing.

Yes it is. It's pretty simple to set up on the bike, just figure out placement and use the supplied zip ties to mount it. You hold down the left button to clear the current data and use the right button to flip through the different options. While riding I like to see my speed and distance, your speed is the large Zero in the picture. The bottom row of numbers switch between distance and time. I'm sure there are other options but I honestly didn't even pull out the instructions. Just mounted it and started riding :-)

I would say "yes" with a caveat: if this laser measurer is located on a boat, the bobbing of the boat in the water will dither the reading on the display. If you use the "minimum" function built into this instrument, it will make a batch of readings, which you start and stop, then return the minimum value that it read. There's also a 'maximum" function.anonj

No but most sounders that do show speed are not accurate. They do not calculate any current. So the only way to get an accurate speed is with gps.

I use mine as a backup to the larger Garmin on my boat. For boating however, I purchased the Garmin Blue Chart (North America) on micro sd card format. The waterways and shoreline depicted on the provided topo basemap lacks any reasonable or useful detail for navigation. You can add your own waypoints (i.e. fishing spots, obstacles, etc.) with either mapping system. AA batteries alkaline or rechargeable (it comes with an external charger for rechargeables).
