Looking to get a new GPS unit for my Vista 298. Want on that will also show my my speed and Depth. Like to have one screen that will tell me everything important. Any suggestions? |

Garmin 4xxs (4-inch screen) or 5xxs (5-inch screen) series will give water temp and depth plus about 75 other functions / displays. If you have lots to spend go to a Garmin 740. For a boat your size I would absolutely get a mapping gps. I love my 536s because of the large screen and easy to read charts. See my review on the 536s. |

I had the 441s and I liked it, but the screen was too small and it was SLOW to work with. I got it off this site used for a good deal so I couldn't complain. Go with at least a 7in display. I use my Note 2 with Navionics and it shows speed in GPS. I use my depth sounder for real time depth of course. It has a 5.5 in screen and I use a windshield mount. couldn't be happier. In all honesty if you have a depth sounder (you should) I'd purchase a Nexus 10 google tablet for $400 and get the $35 Navionics HD app. The maps are downloaded, no internet/wifi needed. If you don't have a sounder (weird) just installa Faria one with depth and water temp, they're cheap. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product ... gi?i=74431 |

5 " display is adequate. This model covers about everything. Highly recommended. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the- ... 19850.html If you can fit a larger display, go with this. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the- ... 19867.html |

I have the Garmin 546S. Works great and fits in my cramped helm. Fast and decent screen. Rule is as big a screen as you can fit and afford. Garmin is real customizable on the display. I have the map, speed, depth, water temp, compass, and coordinates. |
