does this unit have map and fish finder

It has a fish finder and a very basic, general gps map. I would recommend buying an area specific e-card. This model does not have downscan imaging, but it does have a depth finder. As for this unit overall, I am very satisfied and do recommend it.

Yes it does. Unit takes some fine tuning once on water. Spend some time with it and it works well.

No, there are no Georgia maps downloaded on this unit. GMU - Game Management Unit. I believe is the same as Georgia Wildlife Management Area. Just an FYI I hunted with a friend that owns a handheld GPS unit that cost 3-4 times more than the Megellan 350H that was left in camp everyday because it simply just didn't work as well.

I use this unit on a kayak solely for depth and position. If you need a fish finder I would recommend a model that is geared more toward fish finding that has a GPS.

No, and I am considering purchasing a new GPS unit that does include lifetime map updates. It won't cost much more than buying new maps for this one. most directions are fine, but there are some changes since 2010 when I bought it and I would update if I could.

It's a Garmin brand device. It's looks like any other transducer for a fish finder/sounder/SONAR... It mounts to the bottom of transom with the bottom of the transducer below the lowest part of the boat. It plots the bottom and shows grass. I haven't really used it as a fish finder or anything, but it's more reliable than my kid looking for shallow water from the bow. It will show in advance when you are approaching shallows and heavy grass.

Best handheld GPS for fishing and best map software to buy for the handheld?

I'm not sure if it will work with any other GPS units. The best answer for which Garmin units is to go to Garmin's web site and if you look up the Midwest fishing guide it will tell you which units it will work with.

The preloaded maps that came with my GPSMap 78 were completely useless. I had to add a micro sd card plus purchase a city map program to bring mine up to speed. Once you do that, it's an awesome device. A marine specific program or topo map might be what your husband would need in his kayak.

The unit comes loaded with coastline maps of the eastern seacoast but no fresh water maps. They can be bought and loaded seperatly by buying the coresponding chip for the frshwater areas you want to navigate. And yes it does come with a transducer.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

Yes it does tell you your speed by gps. Its not a very good map on the gps like it doesnt show a very accurate lake map but it does show you bottom depth, water temp, and speed.

yes, but don't buy it. It is a depth finder at best --made up to look like a fish findeer and mine only lasted a few uses before it started having problems with the screen and electronics.

I do not know if it works for the buddy 2, but it does on the fish buddy, do you know if here are any differences between the to fish finders? i'm not sure there is.

It comes with base maps. I suggest nautical insight pro offshore charts. This has the coastal coverage. I fish the marshes of Louisiana, and was a huge improvement to the base maps.

Most, if not all GPs units allow for "bookmarking" of sites you are at, as well as entering and saving coordinates for locations you haven't visited yet. Many offer POI's, aka "Point's of interest", and some allow you to upload custom poi lists, such as these http://www.poi-factory.com/taxonomy/term/55, however none of those are specifically geared for ice fishing. As far as which unit to buy, I'd make sure that it's durable & waterproof, or at least water resistant. ;-) Also, I'd suggest a unit that is geared towards marine use, so that it will contain, or at least allow uploads of marine charts or inland lake charts, if that's something that your husband needs for ice fishing.

sort of but maps are very out of date would not recommend this unit, so out of date it is almost useless.
