What the maker and reviewers highlight

AutoChart Live builds 1-foot contour maps of your home water with every pass (FishFinderReviews.net) [source]

Things to weigh

No NMEA 2000 or Ethernet networking; that needs the G4N version (FishFinderReviews.net) [source]

Who it's for in Texas

Side imaging pays off on big Texas reservoirs where you are hunting timber, ledges and brush piles from a boat.

My take: coming soon

We have not tested this one ourselves yet. If I get it in the field, my notes will go here. No rating is given.
