They newer antennae’s are hardwired to power, this fixes the issue of batteries going out.
Really depends what your looking for. My Lowrance has gps speed, but I like to see the gauge move and its easier to watch for me and passengers. If you still want a GPS speedo, I havent found any that are moderately priced. Mine is a Gaffrig that is a Livorsi brand, but also reads that its made by auto meter.
Also, I did find some 3” that were cheaper than the 4 5/8 monster guages, but it really depends on what you want. Use google, amazon and ebay and just do a search.
If I come across any, Ill post here.

I used my phone before I bought my Lowrance gps chart plotter actually, I downloaded the Navionics App for $9.99 and my area maps! It uses gps and doesnt need cellular to navigate on my iPhone. It even works while on a plane, last flight we were doing 453mph! Lol

I like the Garmin GPSmap 78sc ................it's hand held and all I wanted was a GPS read out for Speed ...
don't need the transducer screwed into the transom nor fish finder...does have chart plotter way points
