Recommended depth/fish finder with gps
Hello everyone. I'm headed up to the lake in 3 weeks for the month of July with a new pontoon boat. I live in South Florida and fish in the ocean. I am familiar with electronics that are best suited for my needs down here but need advice for the lake.
Can you recommend a quality depth/fish finder with gps for the lake? I want one with a good display and capable of accepting a c-map. I know some of the newer models have tremendous displays marking fish at considerable depths. I am interested in doing some deep trolling so I want to be able to mark fish between 60 and 150ft. Thank you once again for your time. |

Far as I know, you are limited to either Standard Horizon or Navman, unless you don't mind spending some big Furuno money.
I would tend to think that the transducer selection is far more critical than the display selection with regards to resolution. |

Gps
I like the standard Horizon CP180i (i means internal antenna) Great color screen, accepts C-map chips which I woudl recommend the Bizier C-Map chip for the Lake and then you can buy the "black box" it is called fish finder that attaches to the model. They make a all in one unit but I would it was cheaper to buy them separately especially since i was not sure if I wanted the fish finder unit, still have not purchased that part yet but the GPS system is great
