I also have the Garmin 4 with GPS that I use on my inflatable kayak (2 years). I also have a elec. motor and troll so the GPS for MPH is invaluable.
There are much more experienced people on here to provide inside for ice fishing and side-view, etc, but one thing that I love about the Garmin is the readable screen, even in bright sunlight. Other vendors likely have very bright and clear screens, but this is huge when in direct sunlight and you want to pay attention to this feature, or lack of.
I looked at some cell phone-based options but when you look at your cell phone in direct sunlight I think you will be disappointed, even with the brightness all the way up.
Just my 2 cents.
