    That system doen not last long and is prone to unpredictable behavior as it ages. It also becomes less accurate because the "points" tend to drift apart. Replacement models are expensive.

    Recalibration via silicone or saline can get quite expensive...

    Nemo is right. without upgrades the to points will end up under the arms thus reducing navigation capabilities.

    I think I'd bet lost a lot, but wouldn't really care. Looks like there may be a fish finder included too (or at least something is fishie about it).

    often these units have a break down every month for several days, and just when those break downs are finished with, the money has run out.
