| I had one and after a couple of years it would only flash 2.0 repeatedly as the depth. I picked up a Humminbird 570 as a replacement and so far I like it. It seems more sensitive and has a dual display. You can see your bait's path. If jigging, you can see the action of the jig in relation to the fish arches. |

| My buddy has one which I've been using since my regular 480 crapped out (after 6 years - broken pin for the plug-in). The sonar is great, the GPS is okay. Black & white display, and it can get a bit hard to read the lake-maps if you have a chip in. But, for a starter unit, you can't really beat the price & I'd have no problems doing it. Just don't go in expecting a world-beater and you'll be happy with it. |

Location: Neenah, WI | I have one in the front of the boat and 2 years ago bought a 640 fishelite color , I have had no problems with mine for 5 years. I am also looking at upgrading electronics on my boat and when I do I will be putting on Hummingbirds however the Fishelite series from LEI have worked really good for me.
