Default RE: Which GPS Unit

I've had 1 garmin, 2 megellans, and 1 lowrance.

magellan meridian color (old model now) - great gps. locked on beautifully. nice mapping sofware available

Lowrance i-finder hunt c - had to have mine serviced because it never locked on. Lowrance sent me a new one within 2 weeks! This one works awesome!!!!! The screen resolution and processing power completely blows away the meridian. best thing about the lowrance is it works with the sonar on my boat and it has 1 foot contours on many popular fishing lakes. that is what actually drove me to the lowrance. but, the mapping software that you pay about $100 is so bad it should be free!!!

Garmin - i owned mine so long ago i'm not even going to comment

I'd have to recommend a garmin. they own the market. the reviews i've read is they are a step ahead of everyone else when it comes to locking on. for me though, the lowrance made the best choice. My magellan is going on ebay in the next couple days.
