Eagle Sonar with GPS question?

[JohnD]

I'm looking for a graph with a gps that I can use lake chips in, I was checking out the Eagle Fishelite 480, and the Eagle Seacharter 480DF, they are priced very well compared to some of the other units, but I don't want to make a mistake and buy something cheaper that doesn't cut it. I'm new to the GPS graph world, so any input you could give would be appreciated.

Eagle are essentially the same as Lowrance, with 3 or 4 main exceptions. They have a few less features (all the main ones are still there except the ability to network units together), they have less power (not an issue unless you're fishing 50+ fow), the screens are slightly smaller (still very close), and they are cheaper. I think Eagle is a great way to go for someone looking for a quality unit with a lot of features and functionality --- they're good units at good prices.

color is really nice for the graph part. less important for the GPS, in my opinion. If you can swing the extra $150 or so for color I think it would be a good investment. Well, maybe not exactly an investment.... but useful purchase.
