I just bought a great lakes boat to hopefully enjoy more Lake Michigan fishing. When it comes to GPS, here is what I would like to have but have no idea what models/brands or whatever to look for
I do not need a fish finder with it.
I would like something that shows my boat on the screen and a nav package (primarily all of Lake MI for now) that shows the depths of waters in my area...for example for you Frankfort fishermen I could look at the screen and see exactly where I am in relation to the "herring hole" for instance.
At some point I would like to add an auto pilot to this boat-do I need to keep that in mind when shopping for GPS or are they just totally independent of each other?
I would like to keep the cost as low as possible since I will only might be using it up to 5-8 trips per year on Lake Michigan.
