Anyone got a Hook 5 GPS/fishfinder?

Looking for opinions, the old GPSmap178C on the Searider is getting a little tired and I've got a Navionics Gold chart kicking about for the South Coast.

Yup. Got it after the new Hook2 acted up and it's a very nice unit. Using it over a year primarily for sonar, but it's GPS and Navigation features are as good as anything I've had before - Garmin and Lowrance.
The sonar is outstanding and I mounted the skimmer inside the hull -against tech support advice because of the thickness- works perfectly.

Thanks

I managed to get the old Garmin unit working in the end (had to tell it the year, time and location then wait an hour) but still thinking I might upgrade to a hook 5.
