Standard horizon cpv 350
Anyone of you Snaggers know anything about this unit, I need a new unit GPS and love the big screen, plus I wanted to add a second VHF to the boat so it seems like a good arrangement.
Can't find any reviews of the unit anywhere.

I have the CP180, Its a nice machine but a bit difficult to learn, Not very user friendly. small 5" screen.
I have been looking into new units myself and the Lowrance is looking great, CB has a older one he got in a deal with 7" screen and he likes it, a friend just bought one and loves it. He also bought the Navionics charts and says it has great detail. Has a nice 6.4" screen I believe this is the model?? I will try to call him and make sure as I am about ready to pull the trigger on one. http://www.xtremenavigation.com/GPS-...-p8774982.html

PS. we do not use the fish finder part of it, we both run Furuno 620, so I have no info on that part of it.
But the Furuno is awesome unit!!

Like MJ says, I don't like the Standard Horizon menu navigation. I don't find it as user friendly as some of the other manufacturers. This comes from using MJ's. The unit works fine, it's just the menus I don't like like.

I would avoid LAWRANCE if it was my money. There is ALOT of bad problems out there with them with warranty and tech support. I've used STANDARD before, and they are a bit more for the tech savvy people. If you haven't used one yet, the HUMMINBIRD side imaging stuff is UNREAL! And it is pretty easy to figure out.

I guess this is where I step aside... $800 is a lot of sheckles.. and I can use them for my family more than for me. Do you know how many fish I can buy for that amount of money? I love boating, and fishing, but the only way I'll ever see one of those units on my boat is if my rich uncle gives me one... and .....alas... I don't have a rich uncle. <sigh> Can't say I'm not jealous though.. looks like a great unit. Still, I have my good old Sitex MKII widescan color fishfinder for locating the fish, and my Lowrance M56 S/Map that I use for the GPS side of things, and I'm happy.. so I guess it's all good. I miss my Loran though.... lol

My CP180 is 4 years old now. and was about $500
Destroyer that is a GPS combo, I like separate units, I have a Furuno 620 color fish finder with thur hull ducer at a cost of $1000 for it complete. New GPS is going to be about $800 to $1000 When I first started I had a 12' Sears Game Fisher with a 6hp motor, in all I payed $300 and had a ball! A friend that I still fish with, and I was talking the other day, and were saying its funny, we can't leave the dock now with out a $20,000 rig under us!! And he is looking at $40,000 rigs right now and thats used! There was a time here when I was poor then dirt but some how managed to keep going till my motor died!! This site came together and raised all the money I needed to buy a used motor + shipping! Thats why when I had the chance to take over the site or watch it get shut down I took it! And I am glad I did!!
