I didn't really test my unit without the g2 card so can't remember what the basic functions were with or without. I did remember being impressed when 1st run. I also did a major download/upgrade of the unit firmware/software for last season that impressed me more, upgraded from original rev3 to 5.2 or something like that.
My g2Vision is the older so no unlock. You and Niko are both welcome to test and FIGHT IT OUT if you like it!

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I'll let Niko buy it and then have him bring it with him when he comes out with me  |

when I bought my new unit they were offering a rebate deal and the card ended up costing about $50, so I bought it...IMHO, unless you are traveling in unfamilure waters and do extensive cruiseing, it's not worth the big money...it's got some neat features, but for the most part, in my case, I never use them, and have to zoom in to keep them from cluttering detail I want to see...the 3D bottom contour can be difficult to diceifer, the pre loaded charts give exellent detail and for me are more than enough...My.02

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Absolutely !!! Whats another 300 bucks in boating ?????
With the G2 you have many more functions available. Adjustable Colored depth contours, ( i use it all the time). 3D plotting, and angled views while underway. The imagery stuff I could do without, but its there.
The best one is the "navigate to"... Put in a waypoint or location, and press nav to. It will calculate a route and keep you in safe water all the way. It is awesome. You can turn the helm over to a kid and say " follow the big purple line". It will take you right to the slip.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
