Default What's your preference?
Which brand/model of gps/chartplotter-fish finder do you prefer and why?

Is it owner loyalty or just something new etc...
Let see is, is there more Hummingbird users or is there more Lowrance users or Garmin etc. user out there?

Drum roll!!!!! Lets tally up the numbers

Bought the Lowrance on special last year and have yet to install it, should have it installed for the spring fishing season, until then I'll continue running navionics phone app when necessary.

Anything but Lowrance here. Owner dis-loyalty. Customer service was horrible when I had a problem with my 3month old unit.

Been running the same Lowrance unit since 2006. No problems, put lots of fish in the boat. It's very good at seeing the thermocline and also at finding depths where bait fish are holding. Knowing the depth of bait is a key to precision trolling to run the lures at the right depth.

I have a humminbird DI/Sonar/Gps combo unit and I can't complain about it. It was a cheaper one though so I didn't expect too much, but I like it. I can see some pretty fine detail when looking at the DI

Console HB998 si User friendly. Si is unreal for finding the brush piles and winding creeks. Map that comes with HB sucks. Navionics or Lakemaster chip. Lowrance 88 indash and a 510 lowrance up front. Wish I could put another HB 999 up front.
