Have You experianced all this? or processor speed differance, or is this info from Lowrance? I am planning on upgrading in Spring, but from what all Ive read and by the looks of my checking account, I am leaning toward a Gen 2 with structure scan, they are priced to sell now.

check this video out about the new software update for the gen 2 ,

I guess I need to do a little updating. Pretty slick.

Yes processor speeds are quicker on the Gen3

I have done nothing with chirp, and wireless yet. I was simply quoting Lowrance on those additions.

With an upgrade you will be happy ether way. Touch are faster than the button locators and Gen 3 faster yet. Personal preference to make you decision or better yet Gen 2 will make the checking account look better.

Good luck.
