Default Garmin Unit

Bumping it up to the Garmin echoMAP chirp 94sv .....
Not many of them left since the newer model just came out -only difference being ability to share data with cell phone etc that I don’t need......especially for twice the price !!

Has side scan too so will report back following installation and fishing tests

Completed rigging it up, moved the previous STD Horizion 190 left of the compass, and eliminated the old Garmin fish finder unit..

So now it***8217;s 2 plotters between the two plus all the fish finder / sonar power of the new Garmin sv 94 echo / chirp . Like that the new unit detached easily.
Will take a pic when the rain stops and I take off the cover to fish because my V doesnt get wet unless its in the water ! :)

BG are you on an ipad , don t know why it does ***8216; when i type apostrophes .

Phatt - The GPS Store bought up the remaining new / left over Garmin Echo Map Chirp 94 SV***8217;s from Garmin and is selling them for approx $ 629 incl the proper ducer.

This is $400 - $600 less than the new model - exactly the same except for some info sharing features I don***8217;t need, so I bought one quick !

GPS Store found on line

WestMarine told me they only have a few old demo models left - even in stores that show a couple left . We called about 5 stores and confirmed but if you can find a new - in original factory box great, otherwise the GPS store
