QD:

Tried e-bay, but only found vendors for new equipment. I'm getting better prices online.

Did lots of searching yesterday, found a Lowrance i-finder (marine) for under 180$. The comparable Garmin MAP is 300$.

I'm thinking of spending a bit more because it does have full mapping and a 16mb removable card so with a MMC removable card, I could buy a chart from Navionics, plug it in and have super detail of my area.

Any thoughts on Lowrance?

A couple of reviews read say poor water reisistance, but a large screen with better res. than Garmin or Magellan. Other than that the reviews are 4-5 stars.
