Anyone know anything about the "Garmin Fishfinder 140 Marine GPS Navigator"

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Fishfinder-140-Marine-Navigator/dp/B000ES8AWI/ref=dp_return_2/002-0928163-4001660?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics

At ~$115 at Amazon, seems to be too good to be true for a FF/GPS, and there's no mention of GPS capability other than in the name, but thought it worth checking. What am I missing?

I'm pretty sure that model doesn't come with GPS functionality.  It might be capable of accepting NMEA input from an external GPS unit (i.e. hook your hand held GPS to the fish finder), but I didn't see that in the specs either.

The cheapest fish finder + GPS combo that I can think of would be the Eagle Cuda 250 S/map (~$200) or the Humminbird 161 (~$250).

Wannabe,

I'm gonna guess: "not likely".  Looks like a missprint by Amazon.  Heres how Garmin describes a $127 Fishfinder 140:  https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=149&pID=344

If at first you don't succeed....  maybe skydiving is just not for you.
