GPS vs. Compass

Good GPS $500, New lower unit $2500. The plotter has detail that a paper chart just doesn't have. The chart is with me at all times but is clumsy and the GPS tells you where you are on the chart at all times with just a glance. As i have become more familiar with the lake I have become more comfortable. I am in the saltwater most of the time so I have 2 units and a compass. I am upgrading my chartplotter to take advantage of the new sonar technologies, so I will be selling my Lowrance. It's a 5" HDS Chartplotter/Fish Finder combo with coastal charts from Nova Scotia to Cuba a Navionics Insight sd card that has the eastern us lakes. Lake winni is in HD and the detail is amazing. Will come with the sonar transducer. Cost me $950 I would like to get $400 for it but will accept offers.
