Not buying tomorrow......but really interested in what you Pro's have to say on this. The technology has passed me by.

Seeing ABH's setup (10X more than I can afford!) told me that I'm in the dark ages with depthfinders, etc.

I hope Mama don't read this, but I "found" about $600 in stock options from an old job that are going to expire soon if I don't cash 'em in........and hope the stock doesn't drop, cause they've been worthless for years and the stock finally inched up enough to make some of them worthwhile.

I currently have a Lowrance 337C on the console. I have a Humminbird b/w unit on TM. Both have GPS, external. Entering coordinates in them is a chore.

Boat is a Lowe Stinger 195 crappie type model, with 115hp 4stroke Merc.

I don't know how much out of pocket I can add to the above $$$, but my criteria are:

1) Side imaging
2) Down Imaging
3) Internal GPS
4) EASE OF ENTERING GPS files, like the AGFC ones, or whatever I can find elsewhere.
5) Ease of installation (current console transducer cable is run up under gunwale, and is bolted on externally to transom)
6) Not going to be obsolete technology soon.........(I'm old, this may be my last console unit)
7) Can either be integrated with a new technology unit on TM later (or used on TM and new technology on console), not going to be out of date in a few years. For example, if I got an Onix or equivalent in 2-3 years, will this integrate?
8) I prefer Humminbird......have a Maxxum 70 now and would like a remote control TM someday...
9) Probably something I have not even thought of that you guys will clue me in. Some of the 'customer reviews' on some of these models leaves me less than enthused!! "Won't operate at high speeds", "Need expensive addon transducer", etc.

PM, email, post here, anything. I'm ALL EARS. I know so little about all this that you'll have to type REAL SLOWLY!

Thank you in advance.
