I just bought the 492, it is a color chartplotter that West retails for 899, but I ound it online for under 750. West Marine will price match from the internet, but Garmin has told them they can't on certain units. I think it is more for the bigger units like the 3006 etc. So print up an ad from an online retailer, then go to West, but if they give you a hard time tell them to xreferencethe unit number, cause some they can match, and some they can't. The 492 has the new G2 Bluechart software, and so far it is kicking butt. It has a fast refresh rate, and I can easily see the screen in full on sunlight. If you get it, when you mount it, make sure you tighten the knurled knob on the base as tight as you can get it or the unit will bounce around. It is the knob that allows the upper part of the base to swivel. Once I tightened down that knob some more it has been excellent.
