Reply With QuoteWould not use a fish finder without GPS given a choice. The mapping on todays fish finders is outstanding. So much so that I always run with the contour map on on one side of my screen. The bigger the screen the better.

GPS / fish finder Question
Ok I have a fish finder attached to my trolling motor. I would also like some sort of a GPS for marking spots. Do you guys prefer a Handheld GPS or a GPS/Fish finder combo. I really looking for something under $300 if possible. Thanks in advance.

Best chance for your budget is to check the classified for someone upgrading to a newer or larger model. For a GPS/Sonar combo a 5" screen is bare minimum and 7" is better. If you run across a Lowrance Elite 7 that is a good unit and should be some around. They have been around for a few years so some used ones should pop up. A similar size in Humminbird or the other brands would be good too.
I bought the HB with the 3.5" screen several years ago because it was the only combo I could afford. It works, but it is too small to use with any degree of comfort.
