    Re: Questions about Hand-held GPS units????

    I posted the same question to the board ~ year ago. Most recommended the Lowrance ifinder H20, which I purchased. Also purchased the (sp? novonics?) map chip which gives me KY, Tn, ....., lakes. Been very happy with the unit. Have no experience with the Garmin units, nor their maps. Question for Green River Time? If one compares the two maps side by side, what would be the pros and cons?

    Now if you want a GPS that you are going to use only on lakes Then yes the Lowrance is the way to go. But if you want to use it going down the road in the woods or even on the water the Garmin is the way to go The Garmin Topo U.S. 2008 maps was the best that I could find. It even has all the road and yes side roads all streams creeks river lakes and so on. You get the whole USA for about $100.00 great deal to put on a garmin.

    Sounds like a great deal for the all around sportsman. But for me, I'm a FISHMAN, ONLY interested in the lakes. With H2O and the (novantics??sorry spelling?.... maps, I get more detail on lake topo than with any paper map I have found..Just my 2 cents.
