Going to be picking up a new handheld unit this spring and I've narrowed it down to these two. Just wondering what good/bad anybody has to say about either? I know the H20 has more mapping options, but the Garmin is smaller and I already know someone with a map CD for it. Lemme know. Thanks.

Garmin is easier to use. But, if you have a lowrance/eagle fishfinder you probably can already do everything w/ the h2o. Lowrance can use navionics chips, whereas garmins can only use garmin chips.

I love my iFinder H2OC!!!!!!! I had it since last Sept and use it often. The unit picks up the slightest movemnet if you are going down a weed line slowly. It even picks up signal in the middle of a vehicle in the back seat. Myold one would lose the signal if I took it off the dash.


Great unit all around.

Two years with h20 and could not be happier, only issue that I have is low battery life in the cold. If I keep it warm it works great. Planning on getting a couple of sets of E-cells for it for next winter.
