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

Anyone have any experience with the Hummingbird side looking sonar? It "sounds" like a slick deal to be able to see a picture of the structure, bottom, etc.

I had one, (I have a furuno now) I liked it fine very simple to use and did a good job. The side scan was neat but you really didn't have any use for it in large bodies of water. I didn't see where it showed the bottom any better than a conventional one. It did work great when you were in a creek or canal where the width of the canal or creek was no more than appx 50ft wide then it would show fish under underbrush in the water. Mine broke and that's why I bought the Furuno.
