Looking for recommendations for a dedicated GPS for a jet boat to run Alaskan rivers. Buddy ordered a skinny water jet boat and need navigation recommendations. Thoughts?


He’s looking at two from Garmin

If you only need to use it for navigation the Echomap UHD 94sv will do everything you need. The other unit has side imaging and sonar for fishing that will not be needed just for navigation.

I use a 7607xsv with the Alaska topo card. The topo card is more important than the specific model of GPS. I went with the upper end unit for two reasons, first I got a great price on it since my wife worked at a sporting goods store, and second reason was that we had a 26' Osprey down in Valdez for a while and I anticipated using the same unit on both boats but then ended up selling the ocean boat.
