My question is what does something like this cost?Who does it and if it is cost prohibitive do you guys think I could at least get a good enough guess with gps and a depth finder and use the money for a shock survey instead?

anyways I've hopefully attached a google earth link to my pond and thanks again

A Lowrance HDS GPS/Depthfinder and some simple software is all you need. Dr. Depth as mentioned provides EXCELLENT personal support in addition to Golden Software. Also, check out the following link for some facts on the accuracy of WAAS which is available with the Lowrance HDS systems. For what you need, these systems will fit your budget and needs.
