Depends on what you mean by Best. They range from a Hundred Dollars to over Thousands of Dollars. Do a Search at the top of this page and enter "Fishfinder" or "GPS". You will get many opinions on which are best, along with some pricing. Many people like the "Eagle" Fishfinders. Garmin makes some good handheld GPS units. Both can be had for around $200.00 each or less. Good Luck,

click on the link on this page. Then type in a few key words(ex. gps,fishfinder,combo).....i think everything you are looking for is already on the forum in old postings. It all depends on what you need them for (how detailed) and how mch you can swing $$$. Do a little research on the past postings and then post a specific question if you have one. GOOD LUCK web page

Howdy Q80.<br /><br />I have had excellent performance from Lowrance and Eagle Sonars and from Garmin GPS.<br /><br />I recommend seperate units. :)

Q8ty<br />I agree in general I think Garmin makes very good GPS units. Still can very $100 to $1200. Depends on if you want mapping or not, If you want hand held or fixed mount. If you want monocrome or color.<br />I prefer Lorwance Depth finders in fresh water up to 150 feet. Eagle is also good and made by the same company. Big bucks if you want color.<br />You can save a few bucks if you buy a combo unit, GPS/Fish Finder, but much better to have seperate units.<br />For deep Salt Water I like Furuno Fish finders. By deep I mean over 250 feet. Also for deep salt water need a 50 khz transducer.<br />Go to your local store and pick up a brochure or two and decide what you want.<br />Go to Lowrance web site they have a good tutorial for both Fishfinders or GPS units. A good place to start.<br /> http://www.lowrance.com/Tutorials/sonar/sonar_tutorial_01.asp
