1. If you're an ocean fisherman or fish large freshwater lakes and don't have a GPS, you're an amatuer. GPS's allow you to mark structure, holes, and secret "hotspots." GPS map/chart plotters also are detailed and programable with local reef and inlet numbers; most with color display. They tell you how to get were you want to go, how long it will take you to get there, and just about any other info a skilled skipper would need to know.
2. My question is why the heck would you want a GPS cell phone? that wouldn't make any sense. Where else are you going to use a GPS other than on a boat? You'd be spending money on something silly just to have a phone attached instead of taking that money and getting a quality GPS with all the bells and whistles.
3. ?????? Never heard of anyone using a phone GPS on a fishing boat.
4. Why would you want to rent a GPS? That kind of defeats the purpose a little bit.
5. Garmin makes a kick ass GPS/chart plotter. They also have an intergrated fish finder on some of the models. They can be pricey, but well worth the money. Once again, as far as the phone, I couldn't tell ya.
6. I'd say the 3 largest forums are the one you're in now, saltwater fishing and freshwater fishing.
