School me on a GPS/Fishfinder/Chartplotter

@Mystic1906 - the Admiral's going to be pissed I'm back to $urfing the board but you guys have me thinking I need one of these.
Did you notice that there's a $100 rebate on the Simrad GO5 XSE through the end of May? $469-$100 sure makes it attractive...

PS: I agree with you - the 7" sounds good but I'm worried about real estate.

When I bought mine it probably took 4-5 months to get the rebate in the form of a Visa Debit Card.

Ummm yeah that's crazy. Never had a rebate take that long.

I had forgot all about it until I opened the mail one day and there was the $ 100.00 pre-paid Visa in it.

Was wondering what features worked between your boat and the Simrad? Are you able to get the speedometer and depth of the water? Does the NMEA 2000 features work and communicate? I thought I read where the NMEA 2000 system doesn't work on our boats with jet engines.

I have a nema sytem.in my boat... ot just connexts all the equipment but it doesnt do the engine read outs. The charplotter and the radio and the vhf radio and the swim platform remote are nema 2000 connected.

I did not try to integrate anything, I use the Simrad to tell me my true GPS Speed, depth works while going wide open as well as sitting still, it's an impressive unit.
