Garmin
Garmin's latest models, the GPSMAP 378 and GPSMAP 478, are the world's first portable GPS navigators that come pre-loaded with a comprehensive set of land and sea maps, making them highly useful whether you're sailing coastal waterways, boating on inland lakes or driving across North America. With optional XM WX Weather capabilities, these portable units can also let mariners and motorists know what kind of weather to expect during their trip. The GPSMAP 478 features built-in Marine Detail Charts of the U.S. coastline, including Alaska and Hawaii. For inland boaters and anglers, the GPSMAP 378 boasts 10-meter resolution for more than 3,200 lakes. Most of these high-resolution lakes also include depth contours. For road trips, both units come pre-loaded with MapSource City Navigator NT detailed street maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. The database features more than six million points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations and marinas. Each unit comes with a marine mount and automotive kit that makes it a snap to transfer the unit from boat to car. Contact Garmin at (913) 397-8200 or online at Garmin.com

Hummingbird
Humminbird has broadened its offering of Side Imaging fishfinders with the introduction of the 797c2 SI Combo. Anglers who want Side Imaging technology, but don't have the space needed to mount a big-screen model, will find the 797c2 SI Combo gives them the technology in a more compact package with an ultra-high-resolution color display. Side Imaging sonar provides detailed, picture-like images over a wide 160 degrees of coverage to reveal structure, fish and topography across up to 480 feet of bottom at once.

The 797c2 SI Combo is also a full-featured traditional graphing unit with DualBeam PLUS sonar, which provides wide coverage and better structure and bottom detail. The 5-inch color screen features "hemispherical viewing" for excellent readability from any angle and a leading edge 640 vertical x 480 horizontal display resolution. Humminbird offers a high-resolution screen with internal GPS on the 787c2i Combo that plots position on a built-in 30-meter resolution UniMap of U.S. inland lakes, rivers and coastal areas, or on optional Navionics Gold and HotMaps Premium charts.
