Need help on my first GPS Purchase

[George_Steinhall]

am planning to buy my first GPS. I have been comparison shopping for a while and found a few sites that seem to be doing a good job with pricing and customer service. I am still confused and undecided as to what to buy with all the various options. The folks at getfeetwet.com (quite helpful) have suggested the Lowrance H20 or thier 3010c Bundle. I also saw that they had a factory refurbished Garmin 2006 and GMR unit for half the price. Any thoughts on these units? I like the price of the 2006 factory refurbished but I am not sure what I am giving up? Garmin gives 1 yr warranty on the refurb and looks like getfeetwet adds a 2nd yr to that. I was assured that they are as good as new. Has anybody purchased a Garmin Refurb?

Garmin Rules:
Most likely you already purchase one but that is the way to go

I have a Garmin 2010c and a Raymarine E120 on my boat. The Garmin is hard to beat when it comes to ease of use. Not to mention its a very good unit. i have a friend who bought a refurbished, Garmin 232 over 3 years ago and its still going strong.

The Garmin 3010c bundle will be an excellent choice, but if you are watching the money then the refurbished Garmin 2006 is a good unit also.

I use a Humminbird 997Si unit and love it. The only disadvantage I see so far is the lack of Satellite Weather overlay.

Notice you posted on your gps back in May...did you go with the refurbish? How did it work out? I am shopping for a good gps/fish finder.
