FishNg1 and AkKings I appreciate the response. I had a Lowrance depth sounder for over ten years, but sold it along with the boat it was on to get the new boat. It was a great sounder and no problems. I have heard that Lowrance has had problems with some of their current units, specifically the one's with the charts. That is one of the reasons I made this post, to see what current or past owners experienced. In the end I may just stick with the Garmin. Got a lot of positive responses on their chart plotters.

I am going to check out the Furuno models sugested tomorrow. Well, so far one positive and one negative on the Lowrance. I will see what else comes in.

Again, thanks so much for the info. Mike
