Answer 3

Lowrance more bells and whistles for your money-$300.00

The lowrance I fish h2o . I`ve owned one for 3 years and never had a problem.Garmin is for the once a month man the Lowrance is for the weekend warrior.

Garmin vs lowrance I have a buddy that has a Garmin E Trax the Garmin is simple but the lowrance is faster and more accurate. by almost it seems 2-3 yards. this is a big difference if you are ice fishing before daybreak and want to find your honey hole from the day before in a blinding snow storm. Or when its 1 hr. before daybreak and you want to sneak to your tree stand with out a light un detected Can mount it on your boat ,your car, your snowmobile , and 4 wheeler.Ram mounts makes the mounts and brackets.They come preloaded with a standard map also I bought a chip and added hot maps platinum to it and most lakes i fish I get 1 ft. contours.cam, also you can load topo on them. You can get more detailed maps for lowrance.

lowrance is a very good company ,been around for a longer time than most. Their service is good. Find all this at http://www.cabela`s.com or http://www.basspro.com.

Great Question

If you research the internet, you will  find that users prefer the Garmin over any other brand by a wide margin.Extremely user friendly!

Answer 5

I would recommend a Garmin eTrex.  I use the Vista but one of the cheaper models from the same line would work well.  Add the Garmin Topo maps and you have a very useful tool that fits easily in your pocket.  I also use mine for geocaching and other off-highway applications.  I added the MetroGuide maps and it is a decent highway GPS as well.
