Recommendations on GPS/Plotter?
Going to Florida soon and need to add a some kind of GPS (I'm normally lake guy so I've never worried about it and the one on my boat is WAY outdated).
Don't want to spend over 1500 but don't want junk either. So far I'm kinda liking the Garmin 740s
Recommendations and why?

I have the Raymarine e Series 7". The footprint worked for me but I really like the bright screen and the hybrid controls. Touchscreens can be tough to use while running along.[ATTACH=CONFIG]523923[/ATTACH]

I bought an elite 5- dsi as I really didn't have a good place to put a bigger one. Good detail, we used it in orange beach this past weekend and it was better than the family members who "thought" they knew waters! Under 400 I think it was..
You can see it right in front of my steering wheel. Only blocks fuel gauge.

I'm a Raymarine guy. Takes a little longer to learn how to use but awesome once you learn it and software updates with new maps for free every 2 mos or so. Spend a little more than 1500. Get a big screen. You get what you pay for.
