I thought the RT 9 already did the same thing? New unit does look like it will be a bit closer to the existing LX's so might be a hit with Marcum fans looking to upgrage.
Vexilar is coming out with a new one as well but looks to basically be a transducer upgrade, haven't dug to much into yet. No gps though lol.
I have the "pre ICE" version of the hummingbird it has the sonar/gps and it, to me, is a must have. Served me faithfully and without an issue for 10+ years.
I also take this unit up as a portable GPS/Sonar on remote lakes too (have the summer transducer with suction cup too).
It's great - use the GPS to get exactly over the structure you want (or to your previous way point) - drill a hole, then switch it to sonar and fish away.
Camera, of course, is separate, but I like it that way. I keep the camera in the tent and grab my sonar if I'm going to drill another hole or do some hole hopping.
The 3 in 1 is cool though.

I see they also released the Pursuit HD camera. A 5" display and a rewind system. Very similar specs to the Aqua vu Revolution but a better resolution on the camera. I wonder if we will be able to find any in Canada this year?
They also are including a lithium battery in their sonar units, now that is exciting!
