is that the price you found it for? $299
Lowrance came out with a new compact display sonar/gps, and it even takes map cards. BPS is selling it for $199

And, for the same price as that Humminbird they also offer a color display unit. w/map card capability.

Lowrance's 12' lineup is hard to beat when it comes to compact units.
Also, FWIW I'm not one of those Lowrance fan boys. I have Lowrance. But ultimately I'd like to have a couple Hummingbird 898's.
