I just installed the 788ci on my pontoon boat and am very happy with the unit. This is my first fishfinder and I was afraid that it may be overly complicated. The screen is easy to read in bright light and I love the Fish ID feature. I am not that familiar with Lake Lanier and the GPS feature we let me explore. The unit powered up and worked without problems after installation.

The 700 series is packed to the gills with professional technology, it has everything you need to find the fish. The unmatched 640V X 640H pixel clarity of the 5-inch diagonal screen provides unbelievable color and contrast. You'll see crystal-clear images of everything under the water, making it easier to root out the big hogs. Programmable preset buttons make switching between your favorite views a snap.

The built-in Unimap makes you at home on any body of water. Mount the 700 in-dash, or use our Tilt and Swivel Quick Disconnect Mounting System, and turn yourself into a fully armed fish seeking missile. The 788ci Combo includes internal GPS and DualBeam PLUS sonar.

Marine GPS Units and Chartplotters : Garmin GPSMap 76 Handheld GPS


Before my GPS purchase, I considered a number of Magellan units in addition to some in the Garmin E Trex series. I finally decided on the Garmin Map76.

In addition to being relatively easy to use, I preferred the slightly larger screen of the Map76 over the other units. Since I was purchasing the unit to use while sea kayaking, I found the screen on the Map76 was much easier to read in the sunlight than the smaller screens on the E-Trex models. In addition, you can upload map data into this unit. (Although the unit includes a basemap, Garmin also manufactures a number of optional mapping products which cover roads, waterways and topographical features in more detail). For kayaking, I use the optional BlueCharts which is essentially like having Nautical maps at your fingertips. (These are sold by regions and tend to be a bit expensive however).
