I've been out in pea soup fog all season and my portable has been dead nuts on each and every time. Unless you are looking for lost treasure, a needle in a haystack, or the perverbial pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow, I would think standard GPS would be just fine. When I hit a waypoint to navigate to a ledge, run on plane to withing several hundred feet, come off plane to idle in and low and behold a ledge appearing out of the fog, I'm pretty damn happy with it. Anyone that's fished with me, will tell you, running around these waters can be hazardess to ones health, so you have to have confidence to do it....or loose a lower unit or two
