Are you a little hairy troll? Do you get commonly referred to as "troll" by your family and so called friends?

You just said you don't have money but you come on here and post that you wouldn't buy my stuff because I am new? You need to buy a clue and some common sense!

So let me get this straight, you come on to other people's threads and make juvenile comments to make yourself feel better? I can almost guarantee that you are a little hairy troll with hair on the palm of your hands too.

Please stay on the other side of the pond as America has much too high of standards to accept folks like you.

Now please go troll on someone else's thread. If I were the mods or admin on here I would make rules against ignorant folks like you making meaningless comments like this!

I am truly disappointed that I have invested any of my time with you and will no longer respond to comments like this.

Not sure he'd want a US unit in the UK anyway. Wrong high detail maps.

That's about right. It adds a little humour to lighten the mood. You see we are all here for fun and try not to take life too seriously. I mean its not like anyones trying to make money out of other people in the community or anything.

I think we can rule that one out! However, in the interest of balance:

Wilfish stop picking on his stripes. He's sensitive about them. You know how touchy they can be. Please focus your remarks on 'meaningful parts of the topic' like his rudeness, pricing, credibility as an unknown entity selling high value goods online, the appropriateness of selling several portable electronics products with no packaging or explanation how they came into his possession, the risks of getting stung for these at customs etc

The 7" & 12" units are sold. Thanks to all for the interest. The 9" is still available. A great Christmas stocking stuffer!

Guy in Bass Pro Shop, Cypress TX told me that Lowrance (and other Navico brand plotters) are "geofenced" to prevent units bought more cheaply in the US, at roughly $1=£1, being used in Europe, even after changing SD cards. This limitation does not apply to Garmin and Raymarine.

Surely that can't possibly be true...what about people who have a US based boat but then cross the atlantic?

I had the same thought but got the same story at boatshow. I guess transatlantic sailors are a tiny proportion of sales. I would like to be wrong as I have a non-touch 10" Gen 2 Lowrance that I would like to change to 12" and retrofitting the new 12" Gen 2 will be easier than switching to Raymarine, although the non-touch Ray c127 is a lot cheaper and I don't need the touch facility. For me the new Ray screens score on improved
backlighting and the latest Lowrance look similar, at least when seen side by side in West Marine store.

Still doesn't come close to Garmin's ease of use though..some good deals to be had ATM because they will be updating nearly their entire product range over the course of next year. We just purchased an entire suite of electronics and a number of other small items from Cactus for well under the RRP of the MFD alone.

Have to agree on ease of use but for me the screen is key. Garmin on my centre console boat in Florida is unusable in bright sun. I bought a Ray c97 for that and could read it in all conditions. Glad to hear Garmin are updating - it had to follow.
