Need new GPS

[crap-king]

I have the black/white unit, speed will read down to.4 mph, great for spider rigging, long lining,etc. Two of my crappie fishing buddys were so impressed with the low speed readout they both decided to buy the unit in color.Never could get the unit to read less than 1.1 mph, called Lowrance their response was that the color unit truly would not read less than 1.1 mph while the b/w unit would read down to .3-.4 mph. Both exchanged their units for b/w(at Cabelas), they will indeed read to.4 mph.
Makes no sense to me why this is, Lowrance offered no explination for the difference. Also the color is hard to see in bright sunlight. The b/w unit is absolutely great, with a navionics chip in it ,it is a great tool for crappie fishing. Hope this helps you. possum1

never would have thunk it - I have a b&w garmin 76 maps and it will read .1 and .2 mph would never have thought color would have made a difference - I will have to ask Garmin if it makes a difference in their units
Thanks Possum

Spend a tad more for a Garmin 76S. Mine has served me wonderful for years without a hitch(on & off the water). Plus Garmin has great tech support - not on hold forever and the human on the other end speaks ENGLISH.
