[QUOTE="richg99, post: 424614, member: 4376"] TNtroller...you always give good advice. Yeah, the more I read the less I like about "built-in" maps on the HB units. Most people say they are nothing more than a green outline of a lake. As you say, that would at least allow one to find their way back to the ramp in the fog. I suspect my Navionics App in my phone will do that. I'm in the middle of deciding if I want to put $200.00 into third party maps AND buy a new GPS /FF. Let's call that $550.00 and up. Or, I can just buy a $100. FF/Depth/temperature unit and call it a day. Third option is to see if the old T'Ducer that I have here will work with the 541 unit. Since I enjoy just messing about with boats, I will give the old T'ducer a try before I make any decisions. Also, just yesterday I read that HB had a press release on 11/15 that announced a whole new line of products. That will probably bring the prices of the present units down some. Sometimes it is good to go slow. Ha Ha richg99 [/QUOTE]
