[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4325642, member: 1132"] GPSMAP has better resolution than ECHOMAP and has additional features. 8XXX units support additional non-Garmin monitors (such as the NBT Destroyer & Battleship monitors). The question is, do you really need it? ECHOMAP 10" monitors have better pixel rates (resolution) than 12" ECHOMAPS The LVS34 is better than the LVS32. Again the question is, do you need it better for the cost? Pole vs TM mount depends on how you plan to use it. If you're going primarily for crappie, I think pole mount is better. If you're fishing stumps and structure for bass, TM is better. Keep in mind that if you're using autopilot or spot-lock, you're gonna get frustrated losing what you're trying to look at. In those cases I think the Humminbird 360 is better, though it isn't "live". Also, some aftermarket mounts are superior to the factory mount, but the good ones are really spendy for what you get. A designated lithium battery in the 12-18V range is superior to hooking up to the cranking battery. Next would be the TM battery if it's compatible in voltage range. If you hook up to cranking battery, keep in mind you might lose the screens when cranking the main engine and Garmins don't reboot quickly. The most useful things I've seen so far are The Bass Tank and Facebook Garmin groups. The Bass Tank is in Sapulpa, OK and one of the top rated one-stop shops in the country. They frequently offer great deals on Garmin bundles and can assist with optimal setup and installation. [URL unfurl="true"]https://thebasstank.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorJK6TnYsUe7B5NcgAtJfQplS8iN3y3RKzsRZTPSM4VhIbVW7Pb[/URL] The Facebook groups are a treasure trove of tips and tricks on setup, settings, troubleshooting, etc. Well worth the hassle of using Facebook IMO and one of the few reasons I have to use it at all.
