Geo,

I am a big Garmin fan and have two on the road GPS, a Garmin Fishfinder and a Garmin GPSMAP 430. The reason I like Garmin is first and foremost I have been pleased with each of the above products but also because I have found their Customer Service to be topnotch. I had trouble figuring something with my very first on the road GPS, called them and they explained everything. Since then have only had a couple of problems but they have fixed everything, and without long hold time on the phone.

Anyhow, the 430 has been replaced by the 431 both of which come preloaded with 5000 US Inland lakes, 300 of which are very detailed. So far every KY lake I have been on, including Cedar Creek, has been the VERY DETAILED type. Although the screen is a little smaller than what you are looking at, I have found it to be plenty big enough and very easy to see. Not sure why you picked the 540 but if you check the Garmin website you will see that the 540 series are preloaded with COASTAL WATERWAY not inland lakes. But you can get a SD card to add other lakes. Check E-Bay for good deals on new/refurbished in the box deals.

Hope this helps,

Grumpy

I have used Garmin 76CSx GPS Map (hand held) for a number of years. Had the older verion and upgraded to the new one this year. You can get the fishing hotspots maps CD and upload to the unit to have contours and other lake stuff on the unit. Has worked well for me.
