Well Mike since you mentioned fish finder, maybe I would upgrade that too....

MM I know what you mean, on those do the cans show up as red or green?

Yes Bill, Nav aids appear in their respective colors as they would on a NOAA chart. Color is sweet.

If you're familiar with the waters you'll be boating, save the $$ and stick with the gps you've got, but when it's time to upgrade color is great option.

The cans are green and the nuns are red.

I think I will stay with the GPS I have now which is a Garmin GPS Map 180.

I am thinking of upgrading the FF from a SeaView 1200 to a color.

What do you guys think of this unit.....

I use a lowrance 335, chartplotter/fishfinder Color (same controls)

I love it,

Very easy to use.

You can download off the lowrance site a simulator for your compuer.
This will let you try it, and see how the interace is.

I think that's 90% of a unit. If it is hard to find information, you will not use it.

Color Fishfinder, for sure, I have the digital raymarine.
That lowrance looks good.

As for the CP I have mono and its just fine.
Also depends on the $$$ you want to spend.

JMHO good luck,
