I've been searching for a new GPS/Chartplotter combo for a little while and I need some help selecting one. If anyone has any experience with these models please feel free to comment.
1. Standard Horizon CP180i
2. Lowrance 5300CiGPS
3. Garmin GPSMAP 540 (or 545 for better resolution)
My boating area is mainly the Delaware River from Trenton to the C&D Canal and then finally down the Chesapeake. It appears as though all units come with base maps preloaded in them. Will it be necessary to purchase separate cards to make them more useful? Will I be able to get depth markings with the base maps or are the separate cards the only way to obtain that information?
Thanks again.
Doug
