I've used both and I really like Garmin better. It's much more user friendly. I would get the touch screen going forward. There are so many features now you can connect to your boat with like radio, motor alarms and gauges, etc.

If you are using or ever planning on getting an i-Pilot Minn Kota trolling motor, you might want to look at a Humminbird because that is the only brand that connects to it. I have the i-Pilot and don't use it connected to my GPS but depending on the fishing you do you might want it. Something to look into.

Agreed. I have had both on different boats. Garmin just easier to use. Mine is touch screen as well.

Depends on what you want to spend and if you need to buy new parts like a transducer or external antenna. If you already have Lowrance parts, might want to stick w Lowrance.

FWIW - I think Garmin and Simrad are the best in the game right now for saltwater.

So how much will a decent sized Garmin with Live Scope set a man back?
