Rating: - A step backwards for Garmin
From the time you turn this unit you wonder what Garmin was thinking. Its hard to use, has a smaller screen than previous units (GPSMAP172C, for example), and the user manual is virtually useless...it doesn't even explain how to use many of the basic features. Also of note is the reduction in buttons which result in having to use too many sub-menus (by the time you figure out how to use the MOB feature the MOB will be a gonner). Way too complicated....took me hours to try to figure out how to use the features. On the plus side the screen is very bright even if the resolution is not the greatest (block letters are not as easy to read) and a good set of marine charts is standard. Its not all bad and it does do the job reasonably well, just a step backwards and very pricy. Garmin....you can do better!
