Hope you find what you need. Enjoy the show. A few pics of some outstanding stuff is always appreciated. ;-) If you find something that you must try then give me a shout as I might have you pick one up for myself. :-D
Cheers, Hans

I am also however since you are going to a show I doubt any of the venders will speak bad about the product. Not sure and wonder if this is not like so many of the snake oils that have been presented in the past using high tech names like nano technology or similar. Keep us posted.

Check out Radio World online before you go, they have some Garmin on and they all compete at the show.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Just wrapped my annual visit to the boat show. Got some great deals on lines and a BBQ however didn’t pull the trigger on a chart plotter. I have my heart set on a 12” Garmin however the only deals at the show were on 9”. I could have bought 3-9” units for the price of a 12” which crossed my mind but I still think I’d be disappointed having to squint at a 9” display.

If you have the room put in both. Comes in handy running dual screens for many reasons. I put in a 12" and a 7" if memory serves me right.

Boat show, my brain hurts!!!!!!! So, Got a Big Orange again for this boat, a new TV antenna (glomex dome), and pulled the trigger on the Garmin 1242 XSV touch. Now, I'm broke.
