Most fishing tackle shops sell fish finders. Then you can also go to Medcomms (Near Paul and Rocco) in Gzira for Garmin. And RLR in Gzira has RayMarine. You have to be careful because if you buy a very basic cheap one it could be useless. So better to save up a bit and buy a decent one rather than spend hard-earned cash on a useless shitty fishfinder.

I have an Eagle Cuda 168. Works very well for me and reads up to 180m, even more if you wait. Costs around Lm50 from ebay, and Stuart Marine in Xemxija has them.

the question is what type of fishing do you intend to do eg bottom fishing a fish finder which can read up to 180mt is enough if you intend trolling i would recommend a fishfinder and gps etc etc
