This product does what I want and more...When I catch a fish I can mark the spot and get right back on the fish. The screen is very readable and it does not take a genius to operate.

I found the installation and instructions for the Garmin 140 Fishfinder to be very good. Installation was straightforward, and the unit is much more capable than I would have guessed based on the price.

What a wonderful combo for fishing. You can tell where you are going, where you have been, where the fish are, how big they are, you can chart a new course - this thing does everything as advertised, and is so practical.

I returned this because the map detail was poor and there is not way to upgrade the maps.
