I purchased a Dragonfly 5 with Navionics map (I think thats the brand) from Irwin's marine. We were new to the lake as residence last year and only familiar with winni as passengers. August was our first summer as boat owners and 'captains' controlling our own fate.
The Dragonfly was awesome. Easy to use and clearly told us where to navigate around bouys, markers etc. We had no issues all season we were up there.
At first the breadcrumbs feature that lets you map previous route so you can follow the same path later was really helpful. We quickly learned the lake and now only use the GPS now when we are not sure or are in new parts of the lake.
It was also fun letting our kids drive while we sat with them. It allowed them to make decisions on their own and learn the lake as well.
A great purchase in my opinion.
