2k??? That's not bad at all. That's what I paid for my touch 9 with all the bells and whistles. Plus 400 for my elite 7

Yea, I'm curious.
I can sell the 9 touch for a lot,
Only if the garmin is really way better and it may be.
The 9 dies off at about 80' on side scan, 80 may be generous depending on the depth
Ps,
I love the touch screen and would miss it a lot.
Perhaps wait till 2015 for the 840 chirp touch and a lot of reviews
im having the same problem with my touch 9. thought i had something wrong with the settings.
Garmin makes several series of the touch...Quote:

Gil knows more about the various units available (and compatible xducer possibilities)...than anyone I've ran across in any of the forums...

Sent email,
Thanks Rickie. I don't check THT much. Will start monitoring it more.
Fyi
Full Garmin 840 setup, down and side chirp
2200. Shipped
Not bad considering what non chirp touch units cost
Is that quoted from Gil at THT...??Quote:

But no touch screen
Anyone care to take a shot at what Garmin does better than Lowrance and HB to make it attractive? Anyone have any pics taken with the Garmin that they can post?
No one has pics.
But it has clear SI out 150+ ft.
And downva can count the whiskers on a catfish.
And you could hook the Lowrance Point 1 GPS up to the Garmin. Wow. Heavy Duty.
If nobody has ever seen any images from the new Garmin SideVu or DownVu, how do you know you can count the whiskers on a catfish? You judging from the marketing data?Quote:

Counting catfish whiskers is a personal hobby, but in reality, I have no idea how good it may really be.
Manufacturers pics are stunning but I have traveled that rd before.
