Thank you so much for the info and feedback. I am not a tech guy by any means, but I can navigate my iPhone when I need something and someone shows me once or twice. (Read: Firefighter). I REALLY like the idea of engine monitoring without requiring a gauge, I mean if I lost the GPS, wouldn't I more than likely lose the gauge, as well. Of course I'll always have a compass as a back up, but I'd sure like to put the money in the unit and just keep the analogue tach.
I find Garmin kind of user friendly, however, after becoming comfortable with the 545s and its limited abilities, my ignorance steered me away from CHIRP, Sidescan and Naked vision (?). Now maybe I should spend some time checking out some friends rigs. I was sold on the newer 7407 xsv or whatever because we used one out of HB two years ago. 7 inch touchscreen I guess was the attraction. However I do not want to spend cash on two year old technology. Keeping an open mind. Thank you!!!
