I bought a small handheld GPS unit earlier this year, when the fish
started moving deeper, I began marking anything I got hung up on out in
open water, well it has paid off. I'm catching fish and eliminating a lot
of useless water( I think) the problem is with the 3 lakes I fish, my GPS
map looks like a sprinkeled donut from an ariel view, dots everywhere. Any
good handhelds with larger screens? I am currently using a Garmin E-trex


I have a Gamrin 176 that is pretty decent with the memory expansion chip and
data loaded fromt he roads and recs map CD.

It is actually a dual usage unit. I use it on my tin boat with a mount, and
a plug in cable tied directly to my main battery. ON a few occassions when
I want to use it on the road I simply unplug it and let it run off four AA
drycell batteries.

I am not sure if the 176 is still available, but there are some newer
versions out there. If you want I can take a look at my electronics
distributors and see if I can get you a decent price on one.

The 176 and its newer versions where never as cheap as some of the small
hand helds, but I like mine very much.
