gps + ff or only 1 item?

hi
I have an etrex standard (yellow) and is enough as gps and want to add a ff90

I just need the ff to find groups of fishes to catch by angling and places to go spearfishing, so nothing particular

do you think is ok or is it better a gps+ff in only one gear?

it seems it would be more expensive

any suggestions about other brands/models?

tks

emidio

Emidio, check eBay for Garmin GPSmap 178, its a nice combo unit with gps and ff in one, I paid $240 brand new. Comes with antenna, transducer, all wiring and manuals, and warranty. It can be upgraded too with regional BlueCharts chip. Great unit and great value. Just sell your eTrex later when you transfer all #s over.
