GPS 3D fishfinder

[MH Hawker]

ok i have finely decided yo up grade my FF, i am looking for a gps 3 D unit with lake maps, and a 5 inch screen, i may have to pay extra for the lake maps though, right now this is what i am looking at and its at the very top of my price range, 350, any suggestions [h=1]Humminbird? Helix? 5 CHIRP DI Sonar/GPS G2 Combo[/h]

Take a look at the Garmin EchoMAP 53dv 5 CHIRP Fishfinder Chart plotter Preloaded LakeV252 HD with GT23-TM transducer .

Real CHIRP technology (80-160 kHz) and no extra maps required

yes i see that the HB dose not have more than a basic map, the lake view maps are 140 from HB so thats a much better deal

i got caught out last year in a nasty fog so its time to up date

The gt22-hw transducer would be better for "shallower" water

i went ahead and ordered one, i will look into the transducer, if i remember the one it comes with is for 350 feet, i dug a bit deeper and the one i ordered comes with the gt22-hw transducer and that will work fine, i fish mostly in 50 feet or less and the with the expection on one their 100 feet the one i slip my boat in is 35 feet


edit: the range is 500 feet not 350, sorry i have been reading and looking for the last 2 weeks, i am about cross eyed from reading

has nothing to do with depth. It's a trade off between depth and sensitivity/target separation. Not important if you don't fish
