I was the one who started the discussion last month when I was shopping for a GPS after Christmas. I ended up getting the Garmin e-trex legend. I got it for $199 at sportsmans. I chose it over the regular e-trex because it has maping on it so that you can see where you are going in relationship to land and water landmarks. It has 8 megs of memory so you can download specific maps as well. But for the easy stuff like marking the top secret fishing holes, marina's, underwater structures, etc as well as tracking trolling runs or specific pathways you want to take it works great. Pretty easy to use and I have found it to be accurate to within 5-10 feet of putting me back into my same ice hole. PM me if you have any questions. I did a lot of research on them. I also liked the magellan meridian series a lot but they were a little more expensive. The lowrence ifinder was also nice but they didn't have it at sportsmans and I had a gift certificate to us. Good luck
