I'm wondering whats going to happen with depth finders and GPS' You figure most of them have gone up a bunch lately, an I pad or similar device will give you a bigger and better screen, plus more capabilities for less money(expect for the depth finder parts, at least not yet). Lap tops already have the ability to run gps, depth, radar, google earth maps, weather fax, stream data, camera inputs and just about anything else you want. Once they start making them all solid state or rugged like the panasonic tough book, you won't need to spend big bucks on a GPS that will be outdated in just a few years
