time to take a small pile of cash from the wallet and turn into a display and transducer
looking at Garmin, however, havent looked on the website for a few weeks, and all the units I was looking at are now being replaced with new
anyone keep tabs on that is going on
I want side view and down view to prevent hitting things like sunken sail boats
I would like a 5" display or larger. the 5" are going away and there is the 6"
I need the G2/G3 charts
i need something that will work from 0-200 feet, however work well in 5 feet of water at 50mph (most of the gulf coast)
i need something that I can hook up to my VHF radio in the one event I need it
I would like polarized glass friendly
dont foresee a need bluetooth or NMEA 2000 (because I do not have a "smart" engine on purpose)
the new line of ECHOMAP UHD's are coming out. not sure how that compares to the ECHOMAP plus. Looks like the new UCD has the same features as the plus, and then a few more for a bit less
looking for feedback from iBoaters that actually have a newer garmin (recent within the last year) and that use it often
here is the current lineup on the interweb site
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/cOnTheWater-c519-p1.html
this place sells factory refurbs
