New to boating looking for advice on GPS's

I always have a GPS on my boat and a Bizer Chart. I use the Bizer chip in my GPS so my GPS screen and the Bizer chart are showing me the same thing.

I like and use Garmin GPS units however since Jan 2015 Garmin has changed their units so they do not accept 3rd party chips like Navionics or Bizer.

In my opinion, the Garmin Lakeview Chart is OK for fishing but not for navigation on Winni.

Take a look at The other units but be sure they will work with the Bizer chip.
