Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 stars except the mount is a little wobbly.

Bad first; I installed it with a rotating washer and the mount is flimsy and I'm concerned it will vibrate too much when I hit the chop on my classic whaler. Anyone who has ever driven a classic whaling ship knows exactly what I'm talking about. We'll see, it hasn't been on the water yet, but it worries me. You might need to reinforce it or something. A little lame. He replaced my 1994 Humminbird fish finder with a 100 inch. Shockproof mount, gaming grade screen. I really can't compare the fishfinder capabilities of this unit to anything else, but they strike me as absolutely amazing considering what I'm used to. The Navionics charts look great. Much better than the NOAA charts I use. It has depth contours for almost every lake around me. Ideal for the indoor angler. I was able to customize the map display and set routes and other things pretty easily. The bells and whistles in this thing is insane. I've gotten it to connect Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to my phone, put in an SD card to store depth data and now have new boat upgrades like NMEA2000 RPM interface for my classic outboard and VHF -Radio AIS considered. However, I bought it mainly for the chartplotter and sonar capabilities, which seem excellent so far.
