I will need to Make the unit portable as it is necessary to hire boats on many waters here, do the colour units draw a lot more power, need to know i can run for a couple of days off a rechargeable battery unit

Are the models with US maps GPS compatible in the UK? obviously these maps of little use to me but seems difficult to source a unit without.

Here's the big one, make and model reccomendation please, i have been looking at the Humminbird units which seem to offer pretty good value, would prefer a dual beam transducer and quite interested in the barometric pressure add ons but unsure how this works and what the additional expense will be.

Many thanks in advance...Darren.

Hi Guys, wondered if i could get your opinions/ reccomendations on colour finder/GPS units, i have been using an old Eagle unit for 12 years and its time for an upgrade. Very few colour units available in the UK at present so i will probably be getting shipped from the US. Questions...
Are the colour units worth the extra expense and what are their main benefits?
