Default gps combo

the unit it self does allot more than a Alberta fishing boat would need it to do. ie: radar compatible, you can hook it up to the engines computer to monitor the systems. etc.

I like the display, the dual transducer will be great when we head to the deep water. the internal gps is great for marking drop offs. and keeping the speed correct when trolling

I don't like the base maps they come with. lower K was just a blob. and CV as well. I spoke to a guy @ gps central. he said for $120 you can get an awesome topo base map. that will give you exact shore line. apparently we got the combo with the lake insight. It will give you extreme underwater detail of lakes that they have surveyed. but there is nothing for us up here.

in the end the extra cost is going for all of the extra's it does. but it is a nop notch gps/sonar.
