Off Topic Looking for opinions on options for navigation/GPS

[roaddog]

I already have a fish finder that works fine but would like to have routing for navigation and waypoints. I've looked at a few combination units but not looking to spend big money. I see the Garmin Striker 4 Plus for around $150. Anyone have one? Anyone have a recommendation that's say less then $500?

at the $500 price range the lowrance hook 7 is a good option, though discontinued radio world in Toronto still has old stock. For the price it is a good product. here is a link to it

Might be hard to beat this Humminbird Helix 5 combo with Nav card for $424.99 plus free shipping at Sail.

Humminbird will probably your best bet for those features!

Check out angling outfitters in Woodstock or Grimsby tackle, everytime I'm in there they have excellent deals, and both sell units that have been traded in also. Might be worth checking out.

A good used one might be your best bet. Lots of us update ours just cause we can. I love my new Simrad but the old lowrance did most of the same things. Just slower and a bit harder to use with a smaller screen.

You can use OPENCPN with just about any Android phone or tablet... if you have the tablet its all but free, the only cost would be to subscribe to the great lakes maps $20 a year at o-charts.org

Have you found a unit yet,, I have a new raymarine DRAGONFLY 4 pro with navionics would sell for 400

Thanks for the input. I pulled the trigger on the Lowrance hook 7. It came with the Navionics card for $449.00

I did call Woodstock to check pricing on new and used.
