This 12 channel GPS receiver incorporates the
latest in user-convenient digital technology, is incredibly easy to see and
operate, and, although priced much lower than various competing models, offers
impressive features.
The GP-270ML is an update of the original,
popular Micrologic ML-270. ICOM America acquired the acclaimed but financially
troubled Micrologic company early in year 2000. "This is a perfect GPS for
first time navigators or for seasoned pros who are looking for an
information-rich GPS at a reasonable price", says Bob Carey, Vice President
of ICOM America, Inc. "There's nothing else like it at this price point on
the market.
