Vexilar
Vexilar's new FL-12 flasher has the largest flasher display ever developed and offers another Vexilar exclusive, a flat face design that won't trap rain or snow and increases the fisherman's viewing angle by more than 50 percent. This increased viewing angle gives an angler better sight lines from anywhere in the boat. The unit shows depths to 200 feet but also offers a new 20-foot range option so you can fish in shallow water and get a very clean signal, even in weeds. All the popular Vexilar transducers will fit the new FL-12, including the family of Vexilar transducers called the Ice-Ducer. Contact Vexilar at (952) 884-5291 or online at Vexilar.com
Lowrance Electronics
The new iWay 600c portable GPS from Lowrance Electronics is an in-car GPS that can easily be removed from a car dash and mounted in a boat. In turn-by-turn mode, it's an easy-to-use in-vehicle GPS navigation system, showing the motorist the way to any destination across town or across the country. When the destination is selected, the system displays the best route in a colorful pathway, and provides turn-by-turn directions with visual and voice prompts. In marine mode, the iWAY 600c switches to traditional straight-line navigation with up to 100 savable and retraceable plot trails in a choice of colors. Additional features include a large, high-resolution color touch-screen display, 30GB hard drive, built-in stereo MP3 player and full-spectrum FM transmitter. Navigation and music can be configured with a few simple touches of the screen. Contact Lowrance at (800) 324-1356 or online at Lowrance.com
