Garmin GPSMAP 4210 10.4-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS and Chartplotter Network Bundle Review

This GPS is excellent - Definately the best GPS on the market. Deciding on a sounder unit and accessories is a little complicated. I'm very happy with the purchase even with the high price. I wish Garmin had better depth-sounding technology - the regular unit works well but is not as good as the Lowrance HDS. And Lowrance now has side-scan sonar. When buying this, I considered Garmin, Lowrance, and Humminbird. Hummingbird was first to market with side-scan, but their units felt cheaply made to me, and their GPS was not nearly as good as Garmin. Lowrance is decent, but their GPS lacks many features of the Garmin and their UI is not intuitive at all. I decided the GPS features and intuitive UI in the Garmin were worth not having the cool high def and side-scan sonar capabilities. Maybe one day they'll release a competitive depth sounding module which I would gladly purchase, but their current sounder does work and provides decent visibility up to the 500' depths I've fished.

Garmin GPSMAP 441s 4-Inch Waterproof Marine GPS and Chartplotter with Sounder Review

If you are looking for a compact, user friendly GPS Chartplotter/Sounder; buy this one. Garmin is the best, most fairly priced plotter/sounders available. My only regret was not buying the 541s. That 1 inch make a difference. I've been on the water ny whole life and for the money the 441s and 541s are the best plotters available. Amazon has the best prices on them too. WOuld have recieved 5 stars but add and tech infor doesn't state how long the transducer wire is. I took a chance and it fit with some room to spare. Transducer wire is 25-30 ft long. I also recommend buying the transducer with speed and water temp.

This GPS/Fishfinder is sweet!!! The screen is so bright and readable!! It's easily visible in the brightest Florida sun. The screen has multiple layout modes and is very user friendly. The nautical insight is sweet too. I use it mainly in the Gulf of Mexico and wouldn't even consider buying a unit without Insight. Highly recommended. Some users have reported water leaking into the unit during heavy rains but I have not had this happen. I've been in numerous downpours in the Gulf and the unit has worked flawlessly. Happy fishing!!!

Garmin GPSMAP 546s Marine GPS Receiver with Dual-Frequency Transducer Review

(More customer reviews)
I have an older Garmin chartplotter with a black and white display that is used every day on a water taxi and tour boat in Alaska and it has worked flawlessly for the last eight years. I got this new one for a different boat and it works as advertised but I can't customize the display as well as I could the older one. The display is nice and bright and is readable in bright sunlight with dark glasses. The unit is mounted inside the cabin and the built in antenna has no problem tracking satellites. The standard charts already installed for North America seem to be adequate for my needs so I don't know how it would work with the BlueChart g2 Vision. Reading the tide tables are not as easy or convenient as on the older one. The depth/fish finder seems to work fine. It is nice having the duel frequency transducer. I would have rated it five stars but I really didn't see any mprovement in functionality in eight years.

Garmin GPSMAP 640 Waterproof Car/Marine GPS and Chartplotter (With BlueChart g2 Marine Charts and City Navigator NT North America Maps) Review

The 640 could/should have been so much better, had Garmin enabled the XM Weather capability in Automotive mode, in addition to the Marine mode, which does support XM Weather (WHY would they do such a stupid thing?!), and kept the Tracks/Tracks Management feature of the 276C/378/478 models, which are also geared toward Marine/Auto users. The unbelievable thing is that these missing features are all features that Garmin has implemented in older units - it is baffling why they would eliminate them in newer models, particularly at a time when this basic GPS functionality in the 640 is so widely available in smartphones. They also reduced the number of saved Routes. As the 640 is currently configured, I will stick to my trusty 478 for a long time, despite the fact that I would have liked to upgrade to a larger screen and updated GPS receiver technology found in the 640.
