I am going to guy a GPS for fishing and need some feedback on which kind to buy. I am going to be useing it mainly for fishing and am going to be putting a card in it. So what brand and which card would you recommend.

That's a pretty loaded question. Be a little more specific...do you want fixed or handheld? How large of a screen do you want or have room for? If mounting how much room do you have and how will it b mounted? And most importantly, how much money do you have to spend?

I will recommend the mi lakemaster chip ...it is pretty good and usually coast $100, half what most are.

I am looking for a hand held unit. Any price up into the $500.00's if fine.

I've got one of the Garmin entry-level ones (etrex). I love it. I use it mostly for hunting (as my Humminbird has a GPS on it). If the other Garmins in the higher price range are anything like my cheapy Garmin, I'd highly recommend them.

here is an Ifinder by Lowrance for a decent fee.

Love my hand held Lowrance H2O. I've had it for several years and total price is only a couple hundred bucks. I have a Navionics card which covers MI, WI, MN, ND, SD and parts of Ontario (including LOTW and Eagle Lake). Great for ice fishing and travel and a nice backup to have in the boat just in case your electronics go down. Definitely worth the extra few bucks to get the color version. Very easy to learn/use.

Nothing bad to say about it at all, other than it takes a little time to find your location and to change map views at times.

Good luck.

I agree with the previous two post... The H20 is a great user friendly little unit (as are all i-finder's) and as stated makes a good ice unit, four wheeler and back up for my HDS. Takes my Navionics and Lakemaster chip's and has been dropped,kicked, flooded, slimed, used and abused... Through it all it still keeps workin..

I'm not a huge lowrance fan but also have an h2oc that I started out with and I functions well. Screen is a little small, especially if you're a bifocal wearer but its good all around especially with a ram suction mount.

I have the garmin gpsmap60c absolutely love it I never needed a chip as a friend gave me a copy of garmin fishing hot spots that I downloaded to my computer. I then downloaded to the gps, its really neet cuz you can also transfer your waypoints back to your computer. Garmin does not make this model anymore but the model very similar is the garmin gpsmap 62s roughly around $400
