Fishing used to be a way of patience, now it has curved into a well-known sport and past time all over the world. From deep sea fishing river and lake differences, people enjoy fishing as an ambitious sport, relaxation activity or family bonding activities, often while on vacation and during holiday. Automobile GPS units have grown quit popular thanks to the technical progress of automobiles. In the past, it used to be that auto GPS units were saved for certain government connected, military and security classifications. In our cutting-edge world, it is now common for auto GPS units to be incorporated on most new automobiles.
Technology has not ended with automobiles, though; fishing has become very high tech, as well. One such example of high-applied science in fishing equipment is the GPS fish finder. This tool assists fishermen locate the species they hunt, all thanks to sonar communicators. The word sonar is really an acronym for Sound Navigation Ranging. Developed during World War Two to unearth enemy submarine fleets, a sonar has a communicator, receiver, transducer and display, all of which interpret to a tool that is readable and aids the intent of finding different moving objects. In the instance of fishing, the object would be the fish.
Fish finders are made up of three main pieces. These include the Mounting Bracket, the display screen and the transducer. Unless otherwise described each device comes with everything you require to install and use the fish finder.
Most fish finders come with a transducer which has temperature control so you can acquire the temperature of the surface water and some fish finder transducers come with built in speed, or you can purchase a different speed sensor if you need it. The GPS mixture units will allow you GPS acceleration but it will not be as precise as the speeds sensors if you would like it for trolling acceleration.
A GPS fish finder locates swimming species by sending an electrical drive from the transmitter, made into a sound wave by the transducer, which then moves through water by routing to a single fish or maybe a school of a specific species. Of course locating a school of fish is the more advantageous of the two if you are an avid sports fisherman. As the sound wave persists to move, it hits a fish or school or other swimming species, springs back and is displayed on the GPS fish finder display screen.
These high tech devices are frequently seen on shows such as Discovery Channel. Again, you do not have to be an avid fisherman to have access to these electronics anymore, now such devices are obtainable to the average fisherman.
While a marine GPS fish finder is a handy fishing tool, it still does not mean that a fish will take the bait. It can find the fish, though, and so the marine GPS fish finder is a big hit among serious contenders within the fishing world. Just like using your GPS to drive to a grocery store you have never been to, with a marine GPS fish finder unit, a boat can get direction to a body of waters particular coordinates so that the plentiful fishing is more likely.

Screwing into a drywall, hit a metal stud or sheet?
I am trying to hang curtains in my apartment and have been using plastic anchors with around 1.25" long screws to secure the brackets. On one of the windows (which opens into the patio), I seem to have hit a metal stud or sheet about 5" away from and 5" above the window frame. I have ended up removing drywall material from a 3/8" circular hole upon multiple tries of securing an anchor and screw in that location.
The metal surface is around 3/4" to 7/8" deep into the wall. I have tried to use a drill bit directly on it using my 12V B&D cordless drill to no avail.
For now, I have given it a rest after filling the hole with spackle. Can anyone advise me on how to proceed next?
FYI: My apartment is on the 3rd floor. The hole location seems to be in the center of the stud or so my stud-finder suggests.
All the answers/ suggestions have some validity, especially the Lintel and Steel girders possible in the "Commercial" construction, but I have to say I agree most with MOVE your points of attachment, widen or narrow the scope, up / down / sideways. The accommodation in doing that will probably be minimal and the success might actually resolve whatever the issue is you can't determine.
Since you state you are already patching, and I am not a fan of stud finders, I do find that a Simple/Cheap 8 D or 10 D finish nail works well leaving a minimal size hole to be filled. EZE anchors, after would also be my choice.
