I was running a Lowrance black and white but fairly high end finder in its day (10 + years ago) but I just upgraded to a Humminbird 587 I think, it has the down image, GPS and color fish finder. I like it, but I find the GPS is really the only big plus of this finder over my old one. It is a little better at showing small fish and the down image helps with topography and structure. That said, I wouldn't fish without it, it's a great help. I love the GPS speed on the graph instead of using my handheld and the ability to mark structure really helps getting back to hotspots. Used it on Willard to stay on a wiper school in the middle of the vast openness of that pond and it performed like a champion. I have my finder so I can use it in my boat or my toon or ice fishing and I take it to all three. Anyway hope this helps if you have other questions let me know? Later J
