I have finally decided to upgrade my fish finder and GPS.
I have read most the threads on here others have posted on this subject. Seems like Lowrance is preferred, despite some reliability issues with some lemon units. I would like to get the HDS-5 but noticed this deal at Island OUtfitters that includes charts all for $649:

I wonder if the included maps will be sufficient for fishing east and west V.I.
Any members here boughts this unit from IO? or general comments on the Elite-5?
THe HDS 5 will be almost twice the price once I buy the Navionics maps. Is it worth it?
Thanks for any advice and tight lines!
