Sorry about that. I should have clarified. I'm not looking for an all in one. Yeah my ff has GPS. I just thought it would be a good idea to have a handheld also.

Stay away from the handhelds and go with a combo sonar/gps unit. Even if you fish on a Hobie you'll have your hands tied up most of the time doing other things. Additionally, the screens on most if not all of the handheld units are small so don't waste your time and money buying one. There are a few combo units on the market that cost the same if not just a bit more than the handheld units, shop around or place a WTB add in the classifieds sections, someone might have something they want to get rid of.

If you have a smart phone use that or get a compass.
If you hike alot, have $$, and find use for a handheld gps on land by all means get one to back up your ff/gps combo. |
