Ice electronics ?

I would like a gps enabled graph Thinking maybe ice 385 or maybe a 385/55 combo I currently a FL 18 but was thinking of selling and trying out the Hummingbirds any input.

Why would you want a combo unit for the ice? The gps is for travel to/from the spot. Do you want to wrestle your graph in your rig while you are traveling? Keep your Vexilar and get a handheld GPS or a dash mounted unit.

Yeah it's a tough call though. The vex is pretty sweet and all but so is that Bird combo. I've never owned a vex but have messed around with a few different ones thru the years. Cool units. Ive owned a few different birds though and liked them well enough. I bought the Lowrance x67 a few years back because I loved the ability to do different things. I could view it in either flasher mode or fish finder type screen. I actually like the graph mode better as it gives a better interpretation of what is going on and it is in real time so it's cool. This winter I am going(hoping?!)to upgrade to a unit with gps capabilities and the 385 is pretty nice. It has what my old lowrance offered plus gps. I only have a droid with the navionics ap and I fish red most of the winter and the navionics sux on upper red as far as detail goes. So the ability to run a pretty slick unit with mapping choices is why I'd go with the little bird. Flasher/graph/gps' Sounds like a deal to me.

If your thinking of the Humminbird combo you better do it fast and make up your mind. Reeds got a Cyber Monday Sale going on for the Ice55//385ci combo for $599. That's $400 off the retail price which is normally $999.
