GPS Units

[TimS]

Let's hear your thoughts on what you have and what you like/dislike. I have X100c's now and I need to upgrade to a GPS unit at the console before next year. Thoughts??

John (stein) just got a 520C(or 522) this summer if I remember correctly.......got to play with it on Milford last week in August.......had the HD Navonics card for Milford too......very very nice feature too!

I think it was going to take a little getting used to between toggling between screens and setting but other than that I liked it.

I came close to getting a Humminbird 383c (smaller unit) but didnt have the extra $ to drop for it very good as well IMO.......I think the 787c2 is as comparable to the 520 series from Lowrance......around same price and feature......never played with one though

I was real close to buying a Humminbird 787 c2 before we lucked into getting a loaner boat for our last college T. The specific one I was leaning towards getting was their "NVB Combo" which came preloaded with Navionics Gold and Hot Spots maps for the entire country. This is the place I was looking to get it, heck of a deal:

I got to play with the 520c on my 10 day trip to Canada and am liking it more and more. Price is right at $600 from Three Rivers Marine. Plus, if you want to add a second unit later, you can network the GPS and only buy the head unit for $400. You will need two map cards if you want upgraded maps at both units, though.

[R.D.]

not a bad deal considering its loaded with hotmaps Gold and standard......too bad it didnt include Premuim that way you got the HD's on other lakes too!!!

Tim - I can get you a deal on a Hummingbird unit if you want one of those. Just figure out which one.

just my .02 but I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 7" screen that way you can run split screen w/gps and not squint to see it...

I have the 522c igps. Works great in the boat and truck!

If you are looking for a GPS only---The GM5200c Is nice.

I think I would have to be looking at a side imaging unit real hard. I can see one in my near future sitting right beside my 480.

I have the 522 & X17. Like the color screen on the 522. I am hooking up a power cable to the truck so I can use it on trips. I hear a lot of good things about the Hummingbirds too.

i have a LCX26cHD on the console and the X510c on the bow,........i love the 26 because of the bigger screen and the Hotspots Elite maps
