Garmin "stuff" is Garmin crap. Instead of calling it Garmin how about calling it Garbage. 
So, I am in the market for a new non-Garmin unit. I would like my new unit to have a radar and sounder.
Any thoughts or preferences on chartplotters and why?
I'm all ears. |
Instead of talking to distributors why not call Garmin direct? They still have have
charts available for this unit though the end of the year:
Garmin: MapSource - BlueChart
I have owned many of the products over a 15-20 year period and found both their products and support to be great. I don't believe that you really need to constantly update electronic
charts if you are using them in conjunction with paper
charts like you should.
Currently using a Garmin GPSMap 3006c integrated withheir
radar. Purchased in 2005, its since been discontinued but software and
charts are still available. There is nothing better for confirming your position than having a
radar overlay on a chart.
