I see navionics is difficult to load onto the garmin(I'm not very good w/ computers/phones/apps). At the fishing expo last weekend I got to play with a 943 that was on display. The maps that were on the 943 I played with were pretty decent. The local reef sites I fish were easily found and showed most of the structure. I saw somewhere the 943 comes preloaded w/ lake and the coastal US. I was wondering if the 943 that I ordered as a option on the 21'se has some decent maps preloaded or maybe the same maps I looked at the fishing expo? The unit at the show had all of florida and the whole east coast(never tried looking at the gulf or west coast. I was impressed at the speed of the unit, never lagged while zooming +/- or searching up and down the coast.
I wish I could upgrade the transducer but it sounds like Parker installs the b-60. If my dealer installed it I would certainly go up in ducer power. I'll ask my dealer if I can upgrade the transducer but w/ these crazy times I'm not sure. I don't want to lose my spot and get the delivery date pushed out any further. I was gonna just use my lowrance for a gps since it's got multiple navionics platnum chips. I may try to rig up my lowrance triple shot transom mount to get some more detail/separation (down scan/side scan).
Thanks for any info, I'm hoping the garmin 943 is gonna come with some decent maps/charts.
