Fish Finder / GPS Help

[BassBlaster]

I posted this on a fishing forum and didnt get much help so I thought I would come ask my friends on TinBoats!!

Been doing some research on FF's recently. Ive never owned one with GPS and dont understand all the specs when looking at GPS units. My rig is going to be a Crappie rig and I only plan to fish Central OH lakes with the occasional trip to KY or TN. I really like the idea of being able to chart and save your travel route and be able to mark underwater structure and what not. So, I'm not looking for a fancy high dollar unit with tons of bells and whistles. My budget for a FF is $300. Any more than that and I'm gonna go over budget on my build. Allready did that on my trailer so I need to stay on budget with the boat.

I found this unit....

Anyone have experience with this unit? Will this offer everything I'm looking for? All the reviews are positive but there arnt very many. Thanks.

I was looking at unit you have listed at Cabelas here in SD. They were wanting $219
I would have got it but ones they have come with deep water transducer. Would not work for me fishing around here. Not to much water over 20' deep.
I friends with fishing electronics salesman if you wish to talk to him let me know I can get you a contact info.
