The Echomap Plus 44cv with US blue coastal G2 map is on sale for $200 at hodgemarine and some other places. I plan to return my striker plus 4 that just came in the mail for that. Is that a good idea? Sure, Garmin is transitioning to G3 but I'm sure G2 map is good enough for my need. I can always overlay with quickdraw contour if there's any inconsistency in the map's contour. How much can ocean chart can change over a few years? $60 extra for clearvu(downimage) AND preload saltwater chart + micro SD slot seems too good to pass up.
