CT_V_20, They are nice to have and with the space on the V20 it is one less thing!! But I would still op for two seprate units! Because when the unit mess up one part , you are going to end up with nothing.

I have the GPS Map 162
and Sounder 160

both work great!!

Re: GPS Unit
 

Just a matter of personal preference. Given the choice and real estate allows, I also say two separate units are better than one. :)

TO SEAKINDLY:
-Yes I used to be Sailboat. Very good!!
-We live at the end of the world at Cape Lookout and we finally got Road Runner. Thus the change in the E-mail address.

Aha! ... I knew it 8) ... but how did that force you to change your member name?

That's a good point MACOJOE that I had not considered. For sure something will go on the fritz before I expect, and technology changes quick too. I'm going to have to give this some thought. Thanks

Re: GPS Unit
 

I thought about a single GPS/Sounder unit very briefly, but when condsidering safety, I decided to go with separate units. Plus, I wouldn't want to share the screen between both

I'm looking at the Garmin 250 in black and white. I figure color is much more important for navigation (green=land/blue=water) than for fish-finding.

I like the way MJ has his units mounted. I believe I'll do the same! Got alot to do before I get to that though. Some may say I put the ol cart before the horse for buying my GPS unit before getting the boat seaworthy. Well, I would partially agree with that statement. But, buying the GPS now does give me 2 distinct benefits:

1) Had the money now so I bought it now. Wait a month or two and I wouldn't have the money!!
2) Now that I've got the unit it will motivate me to get the boat on the water!!
