need a new ff/chartplotter

[MrHunters]

internal antenna works fine inside the ph and its mounted.. I was shocked it worked. The other great thing is the lowrance network. EASY.. i mean I can do it easy... to hook up other lowrance devices to the network.
Added a fuel sensor for 100 bucks.. hooks right into the lowrance backbone and now shows up on the hds7. You can add radar overlay later on...
It's not top of the line but it does what I need it to do.

I got it with out the insight maps and added the navionics card... Stupid card stops at the NH border though. The google maps overlay is SICK!

Check out boemarine.com they have sales on the unit all the time.

Garmin is top shelf for GPS, but their fishfinders are not quite there yet. Furuno or Ray is the way to go for that

I dont think Furuno has a low end combo unit.
If you want a combo unit, the Raymarine A 57 is reasonable, but you need to add the sounder module. So it also gets pricey.

Lowrance are pretty good too, a guy I charter with has one and it is sweet. But it is the higher end unit and big $$$...

Hope that helps
Good luck with whatever you get.
