Garmins shoot a beautiful picture for sure. But are priced pretty much the same as the tried and true Humminbirds and Lowrance. So unless u got alot of money for experimenting, Better go with what ya know (In my opinion), becuase there is not much of a price difference. Im not dissing garmin for sure. I like the images I have seen from them. I also get great images from my birds. So 6 in one and half dozen for the other. If garmins were ALOT cheaper, we would have a different argument. I hope I helped.
