New GPS / Fishfinder Combo

[cajun bill]

I have the same question. As info, I presently have a Garmin 178c (gps/sounder). It is only about 3 years old and I'm having problems with the screen which "washes out" whenever the temps are high or if it stays in direct sunlight for sometime. Spoke to Garmin and they said I could send it back for repairs, but the repairs would cost almost as much as a new unit. I'd like to chg brands, but if I stay with Garmin, I can use the same connections/transducer, etc. For some reason, Cabela's doesn't sell Garmin gps anymore and I'm wondering if they had too many complaints. Would like a larger screen also, but the large chartplotters cost almost as much as a new car. Would appreciate any recommendations.
