As a lot of guys on here know how I feel about gps's...GARMIN  is the way to go lol. I have a Garmin 60csx this model has been replaced by the 62 models. You still can find some 60csx at shops that are trying to get rid of old inventory. I use the recreation and lake maps to find that sweet spot or drop. I also have the road maps so I can use it just like a Tom Tom.

I found that Garmin lakes software had the best coverage, and I have a 62 series

The reason I want to know about the garmin dakota 20 is it has a retail price 349.99 and a black Friday weekend sale of 229.99 plus a 50 dollar mail in rebate...plus I. Have a 50 dollar in store credit...so I will get the unit for 129.99 once all said and done
