    Marine Radio/GPS Unit

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jan-20-06 AT 04:26PM (EST)[/font][p]I am looking to upgrade my electronics on my boat. I currently just have an entry level Hummingbird monochrome depth finder.

    I want a marine radio and a gps unit, but the hard mounts don't have one in the same unit. Looks like I would have to upgrade my fish finder to a dual GPS/Sonar, then buy a marine radio.

    BPS does have a hand held unit that is both GPS/Marine radio for $299.

    What do some of you guys have?

    My budget is less than $400 bucks.

    Some of the newer garmin units have an optional XM radio reciever for weather. I would think it would also have XM radio also. This system is rather salty

    RE: Marine Radio/GPS Unit

    I use bottomline scanners front and back + a flasher for high speed mounted on console use a handheld garmin gps with heavy duty velcro on the back that way can use it on boat, truck and motorhome . Flasher Jimmy Houston 99.00
    both 360 bottomline off ebay 200.00
    gps 150.00 good to go
    360s are accurate to 200' flasher tracks well at 60+mph
    gps works in all vehicles but none of this stuff is new and shiney save my money for gas and beer......

    Looks like all I can afford is to buy the hand held radio/gps and buy a new sonar next year. Even the color display Hummingbird is $350, and it does not have gps.

    Need all the beer money I can get, but I give up on the gas money. The big oil companies and the Opec have won. Other than sitting at home, we are helpless.
