I love this forum and those who are willing to offer their opions and input. Last week while making my compariions, I commented in regards to the Garmin's transducer problem. In doing comparisons, I am now looking at Humminbird and Lowrance. Great sonar units.I have a Lowrance unit on the front and was leaning towards maybe going to Humminbird for comparisons along beside the Lowrance. My biggest block now is the overlay on the left side of the screen. Buy a 5 inch screen and loose an inch and a half back.No wonder this forum is filled with owners unhappy about being able to read the screen. Humminbird compared to a 5 inch Lowrance, the Lowrance will show more image. I realize this is kind of picky , but that's just me. I am forever seeing the guy that gripes about not getting GPS when he bought an X Lowrance unit.It pays to check things out BEFORE you make the purchase. As stated these are both great sonar units and it would be hard to make a bad decision and maybe I am completely off base. If you have any input pros or cons, feel free to express them.......thanks everybody, this is one great forum.......crappie1133
