Default Standard horizon cpv 350

Anyone of you Snaggers know anything about this unit, I need a new unit GPS and love the big screen, plus I wanted to add a second VHF to the boat so it seems like a good arrangement.
Can't find any reviews of the unit anywhere.

I have the CP180, Its a nice machine but a bit difficult to learn, Not very user friendly. small 5" screen.

I have been looking into new units myself and the Lowrance is looking great, CB has a older one he got in a deal with 7" screen and he likes it, a friend just bought one and loves it.

He also bought the Navionics charts and says it has great detail. Has a nice 6.4" screen
I believe this is the model?? I will try to call him and make sure as I am about ready to pull the trigger on one.

PS. we do not use the fish finder part of it, we both run Furuno 620, so I have no info on that part of it.
But the Furuno is awesome unit!!

Like MJ says, I don't like the Standard Horizon menu navigation. I don't find it as user friendly as some of the other manufacturers. This comes from using MJ's. The unit works fine, it's just the menus I don't like like.

I would avoid LAWRANCE if it was my money. There is ALOT of bad problems out there with them with warranty and tech support. I've used STANDARD before, and they are a bit more for the tech savvy people. If you haven't used one yet, the HUMMINBIRD side imaging stuff is UNREAL! And it is pretty easy to figure out.
