As far as GPS goes, GARMIN is the clear winner. For the money GARMIN makes the BEST GPS out there. There fishfinders though have not impressed me. I know there new black box sounders are nice, but they're also expensive.

I just installed a 440 Garmin on a customers boat last week, I really liked the unit. Its a little small on the screen size, but it is very clear. I didn't see any reason to add any chips or cards, the data that comes with teh unit is pretty good

I have a NAVMAN 5500 with an external ant, now it's Northstar brand. Mine has ben flawless, easy to use, great charts plus you can buy an additional sensor to measure fuel usage.

I pulled the string today and purchased a GPS. I thought I would get the Garmin 420, but the mfg rep convinced me to spend an additional $40 and step up to the 440 unit. She said that no additional chips or cards are needed since there is a tremendous amount of data preloaded on this unit. Thanks to spareparts reply, I knew she wasn't just talking turkey. The screen is a bit on the small side, but for the price, I can't go wrong.

I don't think you will be disapointed, it is a little on the small size, but it is extremly clear and easy to use. Most of my customers have Ray Marine C or E series, I constantly hear complants about how difficult they are to use, and the number of software issues they have with them. I have one guy with big Garmin( can't remember what model, but its comparable to the C series) and he loves it.
