Using an ultra wide, 45 degree sonar beam angle, this system delivers accurate depth, fish and bottom structure readings from 1.5 to 99.9 feet. Operationable down to zero degrees Fahrenheit, this unit includes a trollable, mountable, and floatable sonar sensor with 35 feet of cable and cable tie-strap.

The FF3355P is exceptionally easy to use; simply turn the power on, toss the sonar sensor from the shoreline, bridge, or boat, and in no time flat you'll receive instant depth, fish, weed, and contour readings. With its "SideScan" adapter, the FF3355P can also attach to a broomstick handle to scan under weeds, lily pads, ice, or docks. For added convenience, this system comes with mounting tabs for hull mounting of your portable fish finder to canoes, kayaks, and jon boats.

The FF3355P delivers reliable readings by using algorithmic programming. This reduces the number of false readings, while the unit's fish identifier, depth scale, and two-stage audible fish alarm ensure that you'll always know exactly what kind of fish you're closing in on. Designed to hold up under all kinds of conditions, the antenna is powered by four "AAA" batteries for 20 hours of continuous use, the backlit display prevents eye strain, and a special LCD protector eliminates condensation in the display.

good value for the money January 6, 2009
Live to Fish (St. Clair Shores, MI USA)
the unit works extremely well, the audible alarm is quite loud inside a fishing shanty, and we caught one of the first 3 fish it spotted cruising around halfway down. The only problem is making sure the sensor unit is fully plugged into the body of the fish finder. you have to press quite hard before you hear and feel the 'snap'. once that problem was solved the unit worked flawlessly.

It works but it probably won't increase your success, more of a novelty to impress shore anglers.
Used it once, been in the garage since.

I used this product 3 times already and it does what it says. I used it the first time in a river that runs shallow in some parts and it has a few deep holes,which I found using my float tube. In the places where it showed fish I caught fish and the depth readings helped me a lot figuring out where to hang on a little longer fishing. I would recommend this to anyone trying to find the most likely fish holding spot,from the bank or kayak or tube. I will keep using it until I can get a boat and then I will buy one of those more detailed fishfinders.I would give it 5 stars if one day they can add a feature that shows bottom contour instead of just symbols,but that would make it more expensive I guess. Buy it,you won't regret your purchase!

Took too long for delivery. It took two weeks from the day I put in the order. Good for depth finder not sure if the fish signal is correct. Can't seem to catch fish when it show there are fish. The connection is very easily lose connectivity and show no reading on depth. You get for what you pay. It is not really water proof.

How to Buy Portable GPS Car Navigation Systems
By Sharon Albright

I was researching for a portable gps car navigation system the other week because my job requires me to travel a lot in different cities.

It was just practical for me to get a portable system that I could carry around with me.

While most portable gps systems have basic functions such as voice narrations to help direct you where to go, it's worth the time to figure out exactly what other features you may need.

For example, there are some models which will tell you which lane to be in so you can make turns in high traffic streets more easily. This could come in handy if you're traveling in a congested city such as Chicago.

When considering the features that you want in your portable gps navigation system, it's important to consider if you'll actually be needing that feature or if it's just an added bonus.

Here are some things to consider:

Size of the GPS Unit

You can find pocket sized units which are very portable but have small screen sizes. If you want a larger screen the units will be less portable so make sure to consider how you will use your unit.

Price of GPS Unit

Cost is always at the top of everyone's minds when it comes to technology purchases. As with anything, you get what you pay for. Skimp on a low priced unit and you may just end up with something that functions half the time.

My brother-in-law spent $175 on a no-name brand GPS unit and after using it to help him move across the country, it took a permanent vacation.

You should also consider some of these other major features:

Street name announcement -

Does the voice narration announce the name of the street or does it just say next street?

Time to destination -

Will it calculate how long it will take you to arrive at your destination? This feature is invaluable when you want to know the closest destination out of several choices.

Automatic rerouting -

If you make a wrong turn, does your navigation system reroute you?

You'll find a lot of choices when purchasing a portable gps car navigation system. My suggestion would be to figure out what options you would like, then find the units which have those features and check the units out physically at your local electronics store.

You can then go online to find the best deals for your unit. Often times, I find the best deals online after viewing the units in a store.

As with most technology, you will find that in a few years there will be more GPS units with more features for lower prices.

I'm very excited to see this technology develop.
