Affordable GPS w/fuel monitoring??
Anyone using one???
Had a Garnin on my old Sonic and I installed the sensors to do this but never got it to work right.
Nothing in the manual about it.
Like and accidental feature that was added.
I want to do this w/my new project but just saw the fuel sensors are now $200 per and I ain’t spending that if it’s nothing but a toy.
On last system it was supposed to tell you GPH, MPG, range, fuel used etc.
It had a setting to input fuel capacity so if you reset it at fill up, it would tell you available range.
Like most of us, I was fuel capacity challenged and that would be huge for me.
Also to anyone running “non” pump gas, would help you decide how hard to run it.
Interested in any first hand experience.

I know you’re going BRP, are your motors ICON/E-Link compatible? I bought the Mercury equivalent (Bluetooth VesselView) and it does all that stuff with the option to add multiple motors in the phone app.

I've used Garmin's chart plotter, and fuel flow meters for years, always plug and play. Upgrading to Garmin's 7612 next. Plan to
use the existing fuel flow sensors and wiring.
