Garmin best on sale price

West marine has the Garmin Echomap UHD 94v with transducer on sale for $699. That is the low water mark I have ever seen it at. (also the price I paid when they price matched a Cabelas sale I saw). This unit is sweet.

Binocs on sale too....

Is this unit the current model
I’ve bought garmin stuff from west marine at good prices but it was a few years old
Then just a few years after that they don’t support
Love garmin stuff except for the fast support loss

Still prefer my old 172c chart plotter to my newer 94sv
My biggest beef is with the track lines. Way too fat on the new unit. Very fine on the old. If you go over the same ledge more than 6 times you can hardly see it anymore. I have adjusted this and even at its smallest still too big
Many manufacturers are like this not just garmin. Ray marine tracklines too big also. Sucks.
