[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 360059, member: 429"] I’ve owned every major brand sonar. IMO, Garmin is the easiest to use. Being a touch screen, it’s easy to navigate the through pages, settings, etc. It blows my mind how many guys have Helix birds and are content paying the money for them and not getting touch screen technology. I’m running a helix with a minn Kota, so I’m one of the idiots too I guess. Garmin’s base maps are legit. Networking them is simple as long as you know what unit you are buying (Echomap VS Echomap Ultra VS GPSMAP). I’ve ran an Echomap plus, Echomap UHD, Echomap Ultra, and GPSMAP. Currently I’m running Echomap ultras and GPSMAP. I’m having a hard time giving reasons not to go Garmin. Most of my fishing friends are using Garmin to a certain degree. The one thing that’s a thumbs down, is Garmin’s trolling motor shaft length. They aren’t long enough for deep V walleye boats. That’s why I run a Minn Kota with a helix (ipilot link), but I have garmins on the dash and a Garmin for the scope. [/QUOTE]
