I just purchased this unit last night. Does anyone out there have any experience with this unit? Where can I buy the MapSource CD's or better yet, Where can I get the fishing hot spots disc? This is my first Gps and was looking for any helpful information.

Thanks

i've got it...and it works great. only real downside is the small screen size, but it's a handheld.
combining it with the Mapsource maps is a great idea...check eBay and you should be able to get a good deal on an FHS cd (make sure to get v5 to get the entire midwest). i've also heard that Lakemaster maps are now available on cd for Mapsource, so that'll be on my computer soon too.

the key to this (and any gps) is to learn to use all of the functions. if you simply use it to mark waypoints and to "get there from here", you're missing out on about 90% of it's usefulness. drive around in your boat with the owner's manual and follow all the how-to steps to get a feel for things.
