I know that new Panoptix sure looks like it might be cool to have. Don't take that as an endorsement tho, since I have never used Garmin

I also need one for the front of my boat to use on the TM which has the built in US2 transducer so I am looking at a GPS/sonar combo. The HB Helix seems to be the best deal going. It has a 5" screen and color too for $300. I have a HB385 on it now and after using my HDS7 for a while, the screen on the HB looks really small.
I keep thinking one of the members here is going to upgrade and post a 2D/GPS combo for sale.
By the way, I would suggest getting the same brand as you have on the console. It is easier than having to switch back and forth because each brand has their own peculiarities. I know because I have a Lowrance and a HB and I have to remember which button does what.
Mark 1:17 ...I will make you fishers of men
I have a Garmin ECHO 550c which I don't think they make anymore but the picture clarity is exceptional, makes structure very well for a basic unit. I have had some connection problems with the power plug and the base is a little flimsy.
I use to run Garmin, they are good, some guys on truman use them,and a couple tv guys have them on there boats, Garmin is world wide. I like Lowrance, ease of use,dependable... do the research and choose what suits you best...luck to ya
I also had a Garmin, it was as good as any I've ever had. It went with the boat when I sold it.
I'll smoke just about anything (in my smoker)
The fishing is always great. The catching varies.
