Garmon 160C - A fish finding machine (2010-08-28)

Excellent clarity, easy to use. Caught 29 kokanee the first time I used it. My last Garmon lasted 15 years - this one looks like it will go the distance as well. Highly recommend for the average fisherman at a reasonable price.

Unreliable - freezes frequently (2010-07-11)

Got one of these a couple of weeks ago. Firstly I've found the fish-finding less than impressive, though this is my first fishfinder, so wasn't sure what to expect and I imagine it's as good as others in that respect.

My main gripe with the fish-finding is it gives you no direction as to where the fish are. Behind you, in front, to the left of the boat, the right..? No idea, just 'There's fish around here, somewhere.'

My BIG concern however is that the unit frequently freezes up.

I primarily use it as a depth finder, as there are many shallow areas around the coast here and on the river to it. At the wrong time of day you can easily get stuck in certain places, so was really looking forward to getting this.

Generally it works but I relied on it while exploring further up the coast than we normally go. "41 feet....41 feet... 41 feet.."

We ploughed into sandy mud in water less than four feet, not forty one.

Yes, we had a chart, yes I knew there was a shallow area nearby; that's why I kept checking the depth to ensure we didn't get too near it, without taking a much longer route.

Happily I was able to immediately turn on full lock while raising the engine, tilting the boat over and lifting the engine at the same time, and we managed to claw our way off. Had we been stuck we would have been really stuck, 2 miles offshore, with the boat tipping over as the tide receded - before coming back.

In inaccurate map is worse than useless - and an inaccurate depth finder is dangerous.

I've given it only one star, with an extra one because the screen is great and it's simple to operate. The instability of the software however is a serious concern.

Since that incident it has done the same thing twice more, freezing up. Turning it off and back on fixes it - but be aware it takes around 30 seconds to start up and figure out the depth again.

Overall I'd say it's better than nothing but do NOT rely on it to give continous depth readings.

Worst one I ever owned (2010-06-08)

This is without a doubt the worst fish/depth finder I have ever owned. The depth gage changes so slow, you can go from 100' to 1' and be agroundand it will still be at 100'. If you fish in three feet of water for ten minutes and than move out to four feet, you actually have to shut the unit off and turn it back on for it to change depths. I'm sure I've had it to long to return (two months) but I can't wait to replace it. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE.

GARMIN 360C (2010-04-19)

I returned the Garmin 160C for the 360C per boyfriend's request. Before I received the GArmin 360C Amazon had received and reimbursed me for the Garmin 160C within 1 business day!! WOW!!! That was FABULOUS!!! Amaon- You rock!!
