What GPS unit do I buy?

Hummingbird has some really good values. They are making a comeback recently and I look for them to be a power in a few years, again.

Planetgps.net ..you can get just about any unit for about 100.00 below the same cost from the actual MFG....

example: 797 c2 SI Combo with Navionics pack - $ 1199.00 from MFG...

797c2 SI Combo with Navionics pack - $ 1045.95 from PlanetGPS

I agree with Matt about www.Humminbird.com and their new depth finders.

In fact I am still using a Humminbird LCR 800 Which I purchased back in 1986. I use it along with my handheld GPS from Garmin to find my fishing spots. These two units together are all I need. But it would be really nice to have on of the new humminbird sidescanning sonar units. These are the bomb. Humminbird has taken the lead in the retail depth finders with these new units. In fact humminbird has had the best most advanced depth finders for a long time IMHO. They had three dimential depth finders for a while now.

As for as humminbirds service, I see it as very good. You can send in an old nonworking unit and get it fixed for a reasonable price and get a new refurbished unit back in no time at all.
