i like it a lot actually. the gps is slow to calibrate when you first turn it on. i've gotten to the point where i turn it on while filling the bait tank. i don't have the detailed navionics maps yet, but that's next on the list. it's a 16 channel gps while most others in this price range are 12 channel which makes for a more accurate point. on a clear night i've seen it accurate to less than 5' where on aerage it's about 10'. i have some interference when running, due to location on the hull, but it will still show bottom contour and depth at 30+ mph. that image is with the dual beam active which i found i prefer when over 100' deep. i like having the combo unit, it's easy to mark spots and create trolling tracks while looking at the finder on the same screen. and for me space was limited on the console. i think they have both at sportsmans warehouse on demo modes. i know they have the HB, pretty sure about the lowrance.
