Bare bones, basic unit with decent lake maps is all I want.
Need to do some research. Far one from what I have read is not on a lot of charts. If your wanting to rely on built in maps you may be disappointed with what you get or don't get. I would make this same post on the La board and let those guys that fish there help you along. Like Spartianation said, nothing more disappointing than spending that kind of money and not get what you expect. Best case is getting a aftermarket card that covers where you want to fish. But like I said I don't know for sure if any of them cover darbonne.
