Just got a little 14 foot fishing boat and I am looking for a fish or depth-finder for a Father’s day gift for my husband. I know next to nothing about this item, so please help. First, what is the difference between a fish finder and a depth finder and can I get a product that does both. What about having a GPS with it? Primarily fishing in a smaller 9 foot deep lake in Michigan (Lily Lake in Harrison). Any information would be greatly appreciated, such as prices I can expect to pay and where to shop.
I generally have a difficult time finding a great gift for my dear husband and really want to nail it this time. I am looking to spend around $200, but if you have suggestions out of that range, I will check into those, too.
Thanks in advance.

I have a blackberry tour and was wondering if there was a way to take advantage of the GPS capabilities to determine golf course yardages. I would like to be able to walk a course, go to key locations, press a button then walk to the green and press another button to record the yardage, and ofcourse, do that many times for multiple holes.
Any ways of doing that without purchasing a range finder? My buddy has one, they tend to pick up far too many various background objects which give the wrong yardage.
Thanks!
Sorry for spelling errors! I know some are very clear!

Technical in our sporting equipment?
Reels with computer chips to control back lashes, side view sonar, etc.
Rifle scopes with range finding abilities and being able to show you the drop of the bullet.
Come on I might be 60 but still consider hunting and fishing a sport.
With all the tech stuff showing up on the market pretty soon your reel will do everything, what fun is that going to be?
Granted both my boats have GPS/Fish Finders and most of my reels are not cheap. But if this keeps up where will the fun and the sport of chase be left.
Our waters and lands are being pressure way to much as it is.
Be well my friends
Very Good Answers so far, nice to see their are some sporting people left.
Gimman part of what you stated is why I quite fishing T’s and the political aspect that started emerging. It no longer was fun and/or relaxing.
