Handheld GPS: Color or not?

[eyemaster]

I have the color H2O and love it, I have not seen a black and white, but have a black and white depth finder. I prefer the color version hands down.

go color without the light its just like a b/w

I heard that for ice fishing the color is better. It is faster since the unit is warmer due to the color, etc. So, if you have it mounted to a snowmobile or 4 wheeler it will be faster and easier to read. At least that is what I was told at Reeds. Summer time the black and white is better.

I would go color. I have an Expedition C. One question I have for the other guys that have an Expedition does your barometer read correctly. Mine has never read correct and was sent in 3 times and came back the same way not working. Other than that it works fine. If you get the Map Create and a Navionics chip you can't use the same card reader. You have to buy a Navionics reader also. I just wish the barometer worked, that was the main reason I bought the Expedition in the first place.

yes i would def. go with the color unit i have the color unit and i have also had the non color and with the color it is much easier to see the screen when u are out in the sun and is easire to read i feel

I have the color version and like it! If you guys want to save $ on these things rather than purchase one at a store do a google search and you can buy these units alot cheaper on line than in the store. I believe I paid $120 for my H2OC with no tax or shipping and handling.

You have to mean used for that price! I have been looking on the web and the best I have found without the MN lake maps is $229 online from Circuit City. I have decided that the H20c is the one I am going to purchase...just looking for the best price!

Try Thorne Bros. They have good prices and good customer service if need. There staff has experience on most products they sell.

Oops! Sorry I meant about $220! That was a typo. I went back and look at the reciept and I actually paid $211.95 . That include shipping,tax, etc. Actually there was no shipping cost. Check out tiger gps (Contact Us Please) com.

That is a good price...I'll have to check that out. Kind of waiting for the Christmas sales to see if anyone has a good deal!

Edited to add: I ended up ordering from the above retailer. Got the H20c and Minnesota Lakefinder map for $298 shipped! Should have it in a week.
