Mkalink,

The Furuno 585 looks very interesting. I will call gpsstore tomorrow. What transducer did you go with.? Even though the unit does not have gps/charts. i'm not against 2 pieces of electronics on dash.

Anyone for the pros and cons of have 2 separate units, one fishfinder/sounder and one for gps/charts..?

Thanks for everyone's input.

Best to all

Ed
