Ive been doing a lot of searching for a new fish finder unit for my boat.  I want to spend around 200 max and I came across the eagle cuda 350.  I think its a huge bonus that it comes with GPS for navigation and marking locations.  It also seems like it picks up the structure well.

BPS and Cabelas reviews have gave it great ratings (4 out of 5 and 5 out of 5 stars).  Has anyone used one of these personally?  How are they?  Should i spend my $200 on a different unit or is this a good one?

Thanks

I have one on my kayak.  I'm happy with it.  Haven't had any problems relocating structure that I marked with waypoints.

Definitely turn off the FishID feature, otherwise it will register every leaf you pass over as a fish.

MarineBoatSupplies.com was the cheapest place when I bought mine.

Thanks for the info

How well does the GPS show detail?  Also, I have heard that the small screen display might be an issue when using the fish finder feature, but i assume you can go "full screen" on this when you are done using the GPS feature?

The GPS isn't super detailed, but close enough for me. Shorelines aren't perfect. It doesn't show every single little body of water, but it does have the local 350 acre reservoir I frequent and some even smaller lakes in the area.

The are several screen views. Full map, full sonar, split screen and some others.

You can check it out in the manual.

I looked at them this week at BPs and they do not show water depth contours.
