After being a long Lowrance man with multiple units over the years, I have made the switch. Lowrance was great, in my opinion, but after installing and operating my dad's new unit last year, I had a change of heart. I know I would have probably liked the unit had I dabbled with it more, but after running his new HS unit, I did not like the functions, and it was not as "user friendly" as the old style. But that is me, some may like it.
I just bought the Garmin 541s with the card and got a $200 Garmin rebate for purchase before 6/6/10, and I plan on updating it w/ weather overlay in the future. Would have liked to do it now, but need that money elsewhere in the rig up of the new boat. I also went with the flush mount kit to install in the dash. I really like the new Garmin touch screens, so if you have the cash, I would surely go that route. Very fine!!!!! My new stuff should arrive tommorow along w/ the power pole. Should be a fun weekend!
