Here's a video comparing Gen2 to Gen3's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZBRi1Cuns4 It seems like a lotta nothing when You compare the prices, so far Gen2's are winning by a long shot. Hopefully they will still be available in Spring when I 'm ready to buy.

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. :dono

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. :confused::confused::confused::confused:

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.

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. :highfive

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.
