Good but it’s the off season in upstate New York.

This was loaded in January in New York so it isn’t rated on the water but the reviews are helpful for planning the next vacation.

Depth readings

Depth reading in the Corpus Christi area is off along with channel shading and markings. Just being a foot off can be extremely critical due to the fact that 85% of the area between Corpus Christi and Baffin Bay is less than 3 feet deep. Good way to get yourself hung up trying to scout new areas.

Works great most of the time

For 3 years now we’ve patiently worked through the many changes at Garmin. Sometimes klugy, the devices always got us home. Customer support is fast and well done. Looking forward to smooth sailing from here on out
