Thread: gen 2 or gen 3

I've got 2 new touch 9s on my boat that I'm setting up now. I keep looking at the new update and wanting to install it but I wonder if I should wait a little while to see if gremlins show up in it.

No guts no glory!

The update works fine add I recline in my Lazyboy and run simulator and as I check out the maps I made for the new CC Lake. Life is good.

I hope you get it all figured out. Then I can ask you for advice on the touch units. I'm switching from the HDS7 non touch units and I'm sure I'll have questions.

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.

If you decide too fish the new Lake here, let me know. I will give you a copy of the maps I made for the lake.

I appreciate the map offer. From what I hear it should have some decent fish in it this year.
I finished wiring up my new units today. I'm going to download the 4.0 software tomorrow and hopefully start setting up some of the network stuff. I was surprised the Point1 was getting a lock while the boat was in my metal building.

Not sure I'll bother to upgrade, scrolling seems nice

Everything seems to work as I view the unit update from my recliner. I like the almost not hidden main menus. Visible helps us golden folks.
