Title: GPS UNIT??
Post by: THE_ROE_SLINGER on May 21, 2008, 05:32:07 PM

Im looking to buy a GPS, fish finder unit for my new boat. I think it would be benificial to have a GPS unit to mark out sturgy holes and good crabbing spots around here.  Can anyone recommened a good brand or which ones do you guys have? Thanks

Garmin makes a nice unit, try doing a search for GPS City
or GPS Central in Alberta. They seem to have really good
 pricing and shipping is usually free. You also get to save on PST
that way. I have purchased two GPS units from GPS City.
They ship fast and have good stock.

Like I said on the other forum, I have the Humminbird 787C2i. I like it and it easy to mark sturg or crabbing holes. Get the biggest colour screen you can, along with most resolution and I think all the fishfinders are good. Which ever one you get the best deal on.

Does anybody here have the "navionics puget sound" map? this is the western canada map for puget sound up the bc coastline. I was just wondering how far along the fraser river east does it go?

Thanks
