10 Reviews: Best Fish Finders GPS Combo (Apr 2024)

To begin, consider the Humminbird HELIX 5 fishfinder, which features a larger 5″ color WVGA display. It helps you to see what’s on the water clearly and then quickly captures the fish. It’s also equipped with CHIRP Digital Sonar, which works to reveal information that other types of sonar can’t. This system will guide you to the correct location using Precision Internal GPS Chart plotting with built-in Anima cartography.

Unlike most fish finders this one actually finds fish and the depths are very accurate. I am very happy with this.

Another Humminbird fishfinder is the HELIX 10, which has a MEGA Down Imaging+ (DI+) feature that provides crystal-clear coverage down to 200 feet below your boat, allowing you to see more fish and scenery with 20% more clarity. It has a larger screen than the previous model, which is a 10. 1-inch full-color TFT display (1024 x 600) ensures far more details.

Works great easy to install

Another Humminbird fishfinder, the Helix 9, comes with a transducer and mounting hardware, as well as a power cable, gimbal mounting bracket, and unit cover. It includes MEGA Side Imaging+ (SI+) and MEGA Down Imaging+ (DI+), so you can imagine the level of detail this device provides; crystal-clear viewing out to 200 feet on both sides of your boat.

This is by far the best unit I have ever had. It has the best screen out of all of the lowrances that I’ve had in the past and comes with everything you need.

Garmin has a fish finder that comes with BlueChart® g3 coastal charts preloaded. It helps you to make your own maps on the fly and customize them to meet your specific requirements. It also includes a number of Garmin transducers (unfortunately sold separately), including the Panoptix LiveScopeTM scanning sonar system, which allows you to see all around your boat in real-time.

Easy installation, instructions were clear and detailed enough for even a beginner to follow. Has cut out diagrams for installation/mounting purposes. Extremely clear picture. Multiple options on the device they don't even tell you in store like high and low tide times and closest location for fuel and groceries. Great device so far. I'm happy I spent a little extra money on it.

As you can see in the picture above, this fish finder has a basic design that will undoubtedly save your life when it comes to finding a slew of fish on the sea. It has a high-frequency Clear Vu scanning sonar that allows you to see more of what’s in the water around your boat, including accurate representations of objects, structure, and fish. Furthermore, you can use this device’s waypoint map to conveniently display, mark, and navigate to locations including brush piles, stumps, and docks.

used this on a trip to canada, and was super happy with it. To not only have a fish finder to give you the correct depths, but to incorporate the GPS was great. It was super useful on unfamiliar water, because if you pay attention the 1st time you can follow your path to get home safely. Also, we used it to mark fish that we caught, and was able to use the split screen to pin point those spots and see depths. Pretty cool for this price point.

This is a touchscreen display device that allows you to use a single touch to monitor all features, access menus, and scroll. It comes with a GPS plotter that lets you add waypoints, follow trails, and navigate, ensuring that you get to the spot safely. This device’s TotalScan transducer provides DownScan sonar (straight down), SideScan sonar (up on 300′ to each side), and CHIRP sonar (fish arch) views, guaranteeing that you catch all the fish in the area!

The HOOK2-4x Fish Finder with Bullet Skimmer Transducer is yet another Lowrance fishfinder. The 4″ SolarMAX monitor on this unit provides excellent daylight transparency and visibility. Besides that, the Autotuning Sonar changes settings as conditions shift, allowing you to focus more on fishing, while the GPS Plotter saves waypoints and trails so you can mark and return to hotspots.

Purchased this for my kayak an has been great. Decent size for that

Next up is the Simrad GO7 XSR, which features easy-to-use touchscreen controls that smartphone and tablet users can recognize right away. You can build or pick waypoints, pinch to zoom, or tap and drag to seamlessly pan through charts with just a single touch of your finger. It’s also completely customizable, allowing you to customize the vessel and your favorite on-water activities to your preferences.

Fishing and navigating. Easy to get started with and packed with features.

by Steve

Still, a fish finder offered by Simrad, but this time without a touchscreen display. But don’t worry, it’s still the best option because it has a rotary dial and keypad control that makes navigating menus, creating paths, and accessing temperature, rpm, depth readings, and battery voltage a breeze. Oh, and this device’s intuitive menus help you find the details you need quickly.

This is a great c finder with maps .I fish a lot of rivers and the maps are very helpful. Unit shows good botto views and fish

by Jack

This is last but not least. A fish finder with CHIRP sonar and ultra-wide CHIRP Down Vision to aid in the detection of fish in the water. This device’s built-in WiFi allows you to access and monitor it from your smartphone. Furthermore, thanks to the Navionics+ charts feature, which covers the entire coast of the United States and Canada, as well as over 20,000 inland ponds, rivers, and lakes, you can now explore and catch more fish!

This works very well. It's easy to hook up/get started. Very user friendly. The screen is large enough to make out what the readings are telling you. It stands up well and is a very high quality. It has made my fishing much easier, b/c I can see exactly what's going on around my boat. Overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
