I have this one, bought it last year and used it a couple of ice fishing trips. Works just fine. I have the software on my iPhone and my iPad Mini for walk-in trips.

I like it a lot for its portability. Last summer I took it in to work at Lakehead University and tried it out in the lake just to check water depths and see how far the wireless would work.

My work bud threw it out about 100 ft. and slowly pulled it back in while we watched the screen, and it worked just fine. I will have to do more testing with it to be able to make any more comments on it, but I love it so far.

So I did some more research and came across the fish hunter 3d....features are pretty wild! It's on sale on Amazon.ca right now for anyone else interested in something like this. 

 

It'll map the bottom for you, but what sold it for me is that you can cast it out, enter the distance it's starting at, reel it on and it'll map it out and save the image. I'd go on, but I'm no sales rep :P

I have that fish hunter 3D it's awsome I use it out lake trout fishing and it works great. I wanted to buy the deeper but it's 100$ more so I went with the cheaper option that does the same and maybe more!

I went with the hunter 3d for the same reason, pumped to try it for both ice fishing and the 3d mapping. It's also made by a couple guys in Toronto!

 

Any issues with it so far?

nothing so far I used it today out lake trout fishing and caught some nice fish with it! I really like that it has its own wifi signal so you don't need to use your data or Bluetooth on ur cell phone when it's being used.
