Wanting to know what GPS I should get the hds5 the baja or something else couple came up with the search but know real answer

Have a life long friend that works at Garmin. He says best unit out there is the Monterra, should fit right in the dash.

Get the HDS5 gen 2 that is the current gold standard for offroad users. The Monterra is a nice unit but the screen is small and it is basically a smartphone without the phone for over 600 dollars.

Does anyone know what other units fit in the gps dash kit? I know can am uses the Montana, and you're saying the monterra. Just weighing the options right now...

The Lowrance Baja is the way to go! I tried several before making the e vestment and have been extremely happy every since.
This is one of the best prices I have seen:
Scalise Marine - Internet Ship's Store : Elite-5m Baja Kit Gps [149-00010208001] - $479.79

Also been interested in a gps lately . why do some reference marine. Is that just a added feature that it can also be used on the lake by fishers or is there a difference between a offroad and marine version

No it is an older model. Both are excellent GPS units but I would go with the latest model.

Lowrance HDS5-M 2nd Gen here. Having a hard time coming from 15 years of Garmin, like the layout and features. I got the Lowrance Sonic Hub stereo that goes with it for an integrated easy install package. If you have a metal roof and mount it in the dash, you will need an external antenna.

I do notice that the topo maps have a heavy preference to water instead of land and I find that irritating in the desert. Might be able to filter it out, but I really have not spent that much time playing with it yet. I still have my trusty Garmin 276C mounted to the cage in case I can't get what I need from the Lowance

what map kit do i need to get so i can make my own trails n stuff went with the hds5

The Montana 650t is an impressive piece, perfect size (I think) ton of features and looks clean in the dash with the mounting kit they make for the Mav.

I,mrunning an old garmin 60 CSx with a ram mount off the windshield.... Works good I have all the trails in the windrock area downloaded in it.
