Default Re: Electronics again

PART II,

You are correct, just like a digital camera. You would be amazed by the amount of stuff that they can now pack on these chips. Here's another mind blower. On my old boat i had a Garmin 185 monochrome unit. A chip that would cover the Jersey shore would cost me close to $300. Now I can get a color chip for my new unit for under $100 (and with a ton of more info).

Welcome to the digital age.
