I'm not an expert either when it comes to FF's, but I think you may have to step up in price to get all the features you mentioned above.???

Be sure to let us know what you get and how you like it, when you do pick out something.

Thanks

I only have experience with Hummingbird and Garmin. I would buy a Garmin again any day and twice on Sunday. The humming birds were only so-so. That said, none of the depth-finders I have ever had included navigational options. One vote for Garmin.

Good luck.

LOWERANCE/EAGLE..
LMS480 MAPPING/SONAR-$500
there is only ONE name when it comes to gps/sonar set ups.. and only one i trust to lead me to temptation.. drop the money-$120- and get the 07 hot spot maps..

garmin is a much more detailed gps but the sonar is VERY weak on details.

If you have conosole space I recommend a Garmin GPS (it's gotten us home from over 75miles away and soon to be over 140). As far as FF go I can't say since you bass guys have a way different opinion and the one I like won't fit in any bass boat!
