Returned due to size of transducer, its HUGE

I do not want to write a negative review for a product i didnt even use. I had a garmin chart plotter/fish finder in my last boat and it was great. The interface was sometimes a bit cumbersome, but it was the reason i bought another for my new boat. I didnt do my research before purchase, so its my own fault, but i feel that people should know the size of the transducer. ITS BIG. Lets shape my reasoning for return. I will likely never use the fish finder other than for grins, Im not a fisherman. I really just want the charts and depth. I dont really need anything more than that. I was disappointed at the size of the transducer because i know i would have enjoyed the unit. I did not want to shell out another 120 for a glue thru-hull transducer when i could get a comparable or better unit for less than the combined price. If the size of the transducer doesnt bother you, then this unit will be great for you. But if you are worried someone might use it as a step to get into your boat, then think twice!

Nice, looks good on my backuntry boat!!

Amazon warehouse deals almost new works perfect at home will sea trail next week. Installation was a easy, basic function seem simple. Capt. Jay

Great Price and great product.

The resolution is great and detail very good for the great lakes. Simple to use and install. Wish it would communticate with my very old autopilot but that is my issue not it's.

Perfect

This is a greta product. Took a while to rate it as I had not been out on the water for a while. Works as described. I love having a moving live depth chart. Still learning how to use all the features.

Excellent chartplotter for the price. Very detailed and clear display.

Very easy to install. Menu options are easy to navigate. Very intuitive. This does come with a cover as mentioned in other posts, so do not purchase one. The display is very clear and easy to read even in direct sunlight. It comes with an nice mounting bracket and a template for flush mount. Unit easily detaches from mount for storage. Mine already had the latest software update so i didn't need to download anything. Overall i would say this is a great unit for the price. It also has a NMWA 2000 comliant port and you can hook up a fuel management system directly to it, as well as a NMWA compliant vhf radio.

Great value

Have bought 2 for both my boats. Half the price of the 6in screen and hardly nocixablenin size. Garmin is far superior to most other brands for saltwater fishing and their chart plotter is easier to read as well. Best value out there!

easy install, very easy to install latest updates

Fast shipping ,easy install,very easy to install latest updates. Great price

Great Price

This was a great price for this unit. I think the echoMap Plus is replacing this series, but this is a full featured GPS/Plotter with Chirp transducer. We have a larger GPSMAP 7610sxv at our helm, and this is for our dinghy. I was able to share our Bluechart g3 maps between our 7610 and this unit via a micro SD card. Also, I can share the contours from this unit to our 7610. I am very pleased with this as a dinghy GPS/plotter.

A really nice Garmin model

Installed easily. loaded up pretty quickly and found my location. Maps are pretty well up-to-date. I haven't downloaded the updates from Garmin yet. Shows many navigation points where I run my boat. Sonar is really nice. So many features that I haven't really explored yet. It does what I need really well - and that is get me out off the marina and back again knowing where the trouble spots in the river are. This is the best Garmin I have ever had!

Great unit, nice even with smaller screen

Great Product. Essy to install. Great sense of confidence knowing where I’m at and confidence knowing my surroundings where I’m heading and best of all easy getting back home following previous track!
