Sorry Guys but I must be thick as a brick, I didn't understand; I was wondering if I got a gps with a internal antenna (inside of it) and the fish finder is mounted next to it, if it (gps) would receive as well as a gps with the external antenna mounted away from the fish finder?

I've run my garmen handheld GPS with an internal antenna in all sorts of crazy places including leaning on the front of a fish finder, it never misses a lick unless under metal like in the middle of a car.

Same here - Garmin handheld laying right next to Furuno fishfinder/gps. I don't have the card for my area for the Furuno and it's about $200+, so I use the handheld, and it works perfectly.

I cheated and got one of the Garmin combo units. Love it.

I had the Garmin 160 and a Garmin 162 GPS w/internal they were mounted behind the windshield and about 2" apart, never a issue!
