Is this a chartplotter/fishfinder combo? Yea but don’t expect to have GPS... it’s weird to see a GARMIN, of all things, not have GPS with it. I wish I spent the extra $200-$300.
Does it have a transducer for a trolling motor? It comes with a separate mount for a trolling motor.
¿This fish finder works in other countries outside the United States and what limits it has in seas? Nope only finds American fish.
