[QUOTE="PharmD, post: 445977, member: 23236"] It depends how you fish. If you just want to mark waypoints, then the gps finders will work. If you want to see where drop-offs are or follow contours then i think a chart-plotter is the way to go. You can map out now with almost all brands. Be sure to see how much it costs you to save or convert your maps. A lot of companies are charging you for that. Garmin does not. Most of ypur lower end gps finders do not have an sd slot so once your unit is full, you cant store any more. If you only fish one lake it probably is not a problem as you probably will never fill it up anyway. It will take a while to draw your own maps out though. If ypu are lucky someone else has done some or all of your lake already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
