Does anyone know where I can get a USB depth finder for my boats computer? The only ones I've been able to find cost thousands.

Cheers

Re: Laptop depth finder

That should not be a suprise. It's for a "Boat". I fished with a Charter Captain out of Homer, AK. in 2006 who had a nice setup, Noblec GPS and Sounder on his Sony laptop. Fished with the same Captain in 2007, no laptop; 15" monitor and a wireless mouse, computer down below. Spilled to much coffee on the laptop. I think you are going to need software, and/or a blackbox sounder to drive the transducer. It's not as simple as GPS. All the major players make blackbox sounders, <$500, which if any will interface with a laptop I don't know.
