Way out of my depth here, but it's fun to learn new things. I was wondering IF a combo GPS/Fishfinder could help with some of that data like water temp? I have a buddy who has a combo unit and it measures water temp, marks the location and he can plug in a USB stick and download data. It even allows you to use the Ethernet and send the info to tablets/lap tops or a smart phone in real time. Too technical for me, I'm just curious that's all.

Sure, fish finders don't just find fish anymore. Now they hold rods, and/or cups, they net your fish, the list goes on. They have taken virtual tripping to a whole new level. Kind of nice to sleep in my own bed, no bugs, at night. ::)
