I purchased a new Garmin 93sv and had the free install. They told me I was about 40 on the list. So after 3 weeks I couldn't handle it anymore. It's hard to have a new toy and not be able to play. So I took advantage of the uncertainty of the weather today and installed it. My first experience with a down and side unit. So if any fellow members are in the same boat it didn't take very long and I offer my assistance.
You will love it. Mine was quick and easy.
Does the Garmin have CHIRP or is that another manufacturer's brand?Quote:

sonny boy, what is the problem with your Garmin GPS. I had a Lowrance Touch 9 on the console and an elite 7 up front both hooked to a Lowrance Point 1 antenna and replaced those with a Garmin 73DV up front and 93sv on the console and saw absolutely no difference in the GPS functions between the two brands.
It seems to me to be faster and I can mark a stump with my lowrance and go right to it with the garmin I may have to look a little if I could afford to do it over again I would run 2 93sv and a lowrance GPS unit with a 5 inch screen that way I wouldn't have to split the screens also would like to add garmin is a hole lot easier to use wouldn't take for it. Another thing okie Bob has 2 touch 9s hooked up to antenna and I feel like its not as fast and as accurate as the gen 3 that's just my opinion and it could be just me
