Anyone have one?
I see BP has them for 159.00 (110.00 of regular price)
My old b/w handheld is on the fritz. Might be a good option for the price

I have one and love it. But there is one downside and that is battery life. It has a built in battery and has to be charged and/or run with a 12 volt power cord. Battery life is 1.5 to 2 hours. If you plan on using it as a handheld for hunting and won't have access to a 12 volt power point, forget it.
Now that being said, the screen is larger than a hand held and it is a turn by turn for the car/truck that crosses over to an on-water chart plotter that runs Navionics, Lakemaster, NauticPath, etc. It is a touch screen and not a push button, which has its pros and cons.
You'll never get mine away from me.

Thanks for the feedback.
That is a pretty low battery life, but 1 1/2 hrs is enough. Even with my handheld I'd power it up, take a heading and turn it off.
Hard to beat that price
