Wow, I knew this was going to be a fishfinder supreme but had know idea how incredible this item is. Very easy to install, directions pretty simple. I cannnot believe the clarity of the screen information even on bright days and the bigger graphics option. The chart plotter feature is unreal even with the standard map but would defintely reccommend the additional chip. For me the lakes west Navionics is outstanding and is most compatible with the display. Great price, great service/shipping form Amazon. Electronic life is good......

this gps DF is nice but it comes with no base maps. not roads or nothing. I had to pay navionics 150 bucks for a set of maps that has some local maps but only the more popular lakes SEEM to go into great detail. The fishfinder is great the color is vivid and can be adjusted to different base colors so it doesnt blind you at night. The sceen also prevents glare during the day. I really like the unit but the maps are high and outdated.

This is a great buy and works well. That is, the screen is easily viewed in shade and sun. I'll leave the spec tech stuff to others, but mention two small nits. One, the basic gps maps are way too simplistic to use for fishing. You must buy an MMC card (or two if you are going to use this in different geographical locations).
Which brings up the second nit, it only takes Navionics cards, and at least for fishing in Minnesota, LakeMaster has better maps.

It a great a valuable piece of equipment. Im especilly impressed with the quality of the color screen and the fact I can see it in the worst conditions. I use it in the Gulf of Mexico and it provides me with accuate information in Depth, speed and also hits the mark with the fish finder. I turn it on as soon as I leave my marina the rivers here are very shallow and I can count on my Humminbird's depth sounder to keep me off the ground.
A great piece of electonic equipment for a very resonable price.
