I love garmins gps but there depthfinders suck. The best bang for your buck is the eagle depthfinder.

kinda like this one, but does it stay split screen all the time?

My dad has an Eagle that is still kicking, it is about 26 years old. The technology is outdated but the unit has been used and abused and still going.

Not sure about that dude. I find that the combo gps/fishfinders give more problems,better off with 2 units IMO.

me like that one the lowrance

"Sonar scrollback allows you to bring up previous screens to find and mark locations. "

Meaning, i can mark certain spots,like waypoints????

[Montauk17]

Im not too sure about that,they just came out with that unit. A rep from a marine supply house was telling me about them,but not sure if you can mark it like a gps waypoint.

[huntin fool]

looks nice. for a good price aswell

[Montauk17]

Yeah seems to be a good unit for the money,I might get me one soon.

Montauk I have a lowrance depth & fishfinder and the screen went blank I still have sound just no screen or depth. Can I get that fixed or should I just buy another one.

[huntin fool]

still debating on getting her...


really would like to know if it allows you to mark waypoints..if not, i got the gps i can mark it on, pain in the butt to mark a "tree top" lol

Look at the Lowrance Elite 5 ...might be more than you are willing to spend though.

They can fix it,you will have to send it to lowrance to see how much it would cost to fix.
