eTrex Vista C and now the Cx is Garmin's all in one unit for climbing, city navigation, topographic navigation, orienteering, geocaching, weather prediction, etc...
The fishing part is mostly limited to preset hunting and game tables. My Vista C does have an anchor drift alarm which is useful when sailing or fishing in one spot like a rock pile.
Garmin purpose build fishing GPS units have integration with fish finders and autopilot units. In conclusion these units engadget mentioned can be used for fishing in a pinch or as a backup but they are far better suited for other tasks.
