    I am getting a GPS/Fishfinder unit and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion wether to get a Lowrance® HDS-5 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter or a Garmin® GPSmap® 531S Chartplotter/Sounder with Dual-Beam Transducer. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Fishin

    TomFL has a real life review of one of the high def units on here somewhere and by the tone of the post it is amazing.
