I have Eagle 240 Gps combo unit now that I like alot. It was around $250. I have had Humminbirds in the past and have had numerous problems with corrosion in and around the connectors despite using dielectric grease. I even had to replace a transducer that got corrosion inside the cable end of a molded on connector that actually ate the shield/ground and drove me nuts for months and would always fail on me when I was about half way through a trip. Life's too short for stuff that doesn't work when you need it to. The only drawback to my unit if this is one (never having owned a GPS) is having to learn all the features available and being able access the info readily what with all the other stuff going on (like hauling fish).
