Just my 2 cents on the topic. I currently have a Sonar(depth finder)Loran combo and when it works, great but if I do it over I will go with seperate units. My Loran works great but am considering one of the new handheld GPS with the new WAAS system, they are supposed to be as accurate as the Loran w/o signal loss. Just remember, you get what you pay for, buy junk and you get junk. Lowrance has great products. Check with West Marine reps for good advise on quality etc. There does not seem to be much in discounting on these items by Wal-Mart, Cabelas etc. Mostly just on old models closing them out.
