the only experience i have with those is,my dock neighbor has the exact unit,he loves it...a boat i'm working on,the owner is in the marine trade-electronics,he has a 4200 series garmin unit...
i've had garmin units previous and they all performed great !!! i've never heard a bad thing about these units...i would purchase one...how's that ???

The 4210 is the latest and greatest. The best all around unit on the market in my opinion. The GMR40 is kind of old though. Get one of the newer domes like the GMR18HD

We have the 5208 on our blackfin... The only differences between this unit and the 4210 is it's 2 inches smaller and it's a touch screen. I can't think of a negative thing to say about it. Great contrast, very clear, user friendly as it's easy to navigate through..

Thanks for the responses guys, You think the new domes are better than an open array, just wondering? Thanks again for the responses and keep them coming, I will be ordering in the next few days. Rob

The Garmin is a real nice machine.The radar has a nice picture.You can add the XM weather and audio.The weather package adds some nice benefits to the setup.
