$800 dollars for a unit with no GPS. That is a deal breaker right there. As I have stated before, you can catch fish without a sonar, but if you don't know where you are or where you are going, what's the point ? GPS is the one thing that has changed fishing. Putting yourself on an exact spot, whether it's a hump, seedbed or gravel bar is incredibly important. You know how one hole always out produces the others you drilled ? Now you can mark and the next time you go right to it and start catching fish. Can the LX 7 do that ??

I use my handheld GPS and my GPS that is built into my Lowrance fish finder. They both work just fine and both will get me back to my way points. Having GPS built into the fish finder is nice and useful, but not critical, especially when ice fishing.
