My GPS was stolen off the boat; so I need to replace it.
What's an inexpsnive unit that includes depth (fishfinder type mode ok) and
speed-over-water? Wouldn't mind water temp too; but that's only for curiosity
sake. Alarms: near arrival point; anchor drag, depth
Color unit is prefered, but B&W is ok to save a few bucks.
Thanks for you thoughts

I believe you're from the Puget Sound area?
The Boat Show starts in under 4 weeks, so if you can hold off that long
you can do some serious one-stop shopping and observe the different
makes and models head-to-head.
Every major player will be at the show. Sometimes the pricing is a
little better at the show than otherwise, but the markup on electronics
is so ridiculously low to begin with it's hard to save a meaningful
amount unless something is being phased out. It would take you four
weeks to research everything piecemeal, so you would save a lot of time
spending a few hours making comparisons at a common location.
