New GPS/bottom machine combo question

[3 Squids]

I can’t help you with advice but I too bought this unit. I’m assuming you got it for the $699 Black Friday sale a few places had. Funny thing is I actually bought 2 because I wanted one for each boat, 1-My V20 and 2-My Egg Harbor. I didn’t realize until later the the unit quick disconnects without having to unplug or unscrew anything. So I could of bought 1, bought another cradle and swapped it out seeing as I keep them in my truck anyways. But what’s done is done and now I’m considering buying 2 cradles and having the ability to have 2 units on whichever boat I’m using that day. The empty cradles are $60 each so that’s way cheaper then buying 2 more units. Then I can have a full 9” chartplotter and 9” sonar.

I have about 600 + numbers and probably 400 are no good. On the older lowrance, it was about 5 steps to delete while on the move. That s what i like about the touchscreen of this one. Pull up to a spot, if its not there, tap twice, it s gone. When i was running stone crab traps, i would mark locationa, so i have a couple of hundred ghost pot numbers at least.

I need to do a lot of housekeeping,


Squids, that would be a great plan. I got mine at west marine for 699. It s a lot of technology for the buck. I never was a fan of garmins bottom machine. Always had furuno or Raytheon. I mainly got this for the chartplotter, but in my first outing, i was very impressed,

My biggest problem is the very limited space on the V20 dash
