Wow. These new units make my 2003 'state of the art' package look positively archaic.

It doesn't really tell me what it does different then my 740s

and I wonder if they got rid of the stupid magnetic door for the SD card

Thanks for sharing. I'm a new owner of a 2100 SE and did a lot of research and was also impressed with the Raymarine E7 series. Very similar capability, interfaces, etc. as the Garmin. Another thought; similar to aircraft avionics, marine electronics are becoming increasingly more capable and either interfacing with other equipment or getting increased functionality in single pieces of gear. I suspect the advances in this stuff over the next few years will be pretty amazing.

One more comment, as a new member on this sight, I've really enjoyed the help and information Parker owners share with others, especially new owners. I feel like I have a whole bunch of friends that I haven't met yet that I can count on for advice, humor, and opinions. Keep up the good work!
