Garmin has it all

I wanted to replace my 7" Lawrence hook and after much research decided on Garmin. Garmin had fewer service complaints than Lawrence and Hummingbird. It's a beautiful device, and the 9-inch screen is about the same physical size as my old 7-inch Lawrence. Is it a touch screen or can you use buttons. It features sonar, navigation, downscan and sidescan and a crisp image - a new take on sonar accuracy. The transducer is slightly larger, as is the transducer mount, so you may need to change the mount slightly higher, as I did. You can do a lot of user friendly things with it and it will change the way you fish. The nautical charts built into this device are very good, so there is no need to switch to a new chart. With the Active Captain app linked to Garmin, you can update the map and software at any time. To do this, you need to buy a micro SD card. This also works if you are heading to a smaller lake that is not integrated into the maps on the device. You can then image it yourself onto an SD card for future use. This device's display shows the time of day and the battery voltage, which is nice. water temperature, boat speed and more. I like this device, there were no problems with it. You must go to UTUBE to learn, like you use some of these things like page scan but it's worth it. This device costs around $1000, but for that money you get a better converter and cards. Read carefully what is included in the kit before you buy it.
