Had this conversation with The Darkhorse before I purchased a FF, and he sort of warned me about screen size in a roundabout way, and I probably should have pondered it longer. Oh well, you live and learn. It's a great FF/GPS combo for sure, but a bigger screen would have been better.


FWIW, also Sitex and Standard Horizon make some killer stuff, too.
I too bought the Elite -4 combo and sold it shortly after doing so because I didn't like the Top/Bottom display of the screen, and it was a little smaller than I liked.

This, or a unit similar is what I'm going for next. I have the Black/White version of this and it's an older model. Many of the newer model Humminbird units come with Navionics installed on them. What I like about Bass Pro Shops is they offer the 6 month pay feature, makes it a lot easier to pay for one of these and not take the hit right up from and no interest fees.
