hello all
hey Stu... thanks .... I was looking at the 400 and 500 series also, but could not afford them... right now my shoe string budget is down to it's last thread... I found this 176c (color) for a really great price, and read a lot of reviews, and it has everything I was looking for in a gpsmap set up, so I got it.... I know a lot of the newer ones have the sounder in them, but I do not need that... I have a sounder unit in my boat already... as long as it is working, I will be using it... if in time it goes bad, then maybe I will look at a newer gpsmap with sounder built in...
as long as maps are available for it, I plan to use the 176c for a long time...
sincerely
Jess
