Location: minocqua, wi. | i had the garmin products before this year (b&w) and had some difficulties with them losing the bottom on plane ... running blind was frustrating and i found that i just compensated for it by knowledge of the water and less "venturing" on plane which directly relates to reluctance and potential hazards. prior to last year i was upgrading and didn't care what it took and wanted to go to color lowrance (mainly for the transducer issue i had with the garmin) ... to me lowrance shines on the transducers and then i can't imagine life without color anymore.
i guess it all has to do with expectations. my "expectations" were completely satisfied with the 25c and although there is probably a good argument for the accuracy vs. the topo shape of the structure on the higher def maps, but once you work your icon on them and combine it with your sonar it's idiot-proof which is just what i need. other than some i'm not a technician ... i expect that of the guy that makes the product. i prefer using the stuff time and time again and have it deliver to my "expectations" ... maybe i expected beyond the products technology and that was my bad ... now after learning what i've learned from the products i expect i'm getting a second 25c for next season.
again, any takers on a barely used 334c? .... it will have the antenna working by the time you buy it and you'll get it much cheaper than new ...
