We made a video about one of the new options on the New Touch Screen its few post down.
I'm going to start saving my pennies to replace one of my 7's with the 7 touch. I'd love to have 2 of the 12's though! :cheers2
There has been quiet a bit of talk about it on some other forums. From what I've sen it's pretty keen. I wonder how bad the screen will show smudges? Also I like to fish all winter weather permitting and wonder how the screen will work with cold fingers. My I-phone don't work well when my fingers are cold. IMHO the 9 will be the best value, it lists for $2479 but there wil be dealers selling it for less.

I could see a 12" on the console of my boat though. :scratchhead
Here are the specs on the new 12, 9, compared to the gen 2 10 and 8. The new 9 is physically smaller than the hds 8 but also has less resolution. No mention of how long the warranty is.

I don't believe I will live long enough to justify the price. That price will cover the cost of my casket. However, if Low needs a good tech to demonstrate the unit, I will gladly volunteer. I have a Garmin 3210 which has the video in capability. It is nice feature, especially on a 10 inch screen such as my Garmin..
With the dual ethernet ports, I now understand why you don't need some type hub.
I like the resolution of the 12. I'm getting bifocal age and need a bigger screen with great detail.
But, I just bought my side imaging a couple of years ago. Can't justify the costs. I'm sitting out on the HB brighter screens and will sit out this.
Looks KEWL though.
