Fedex brought the box I was waiting for today.
I ordered it from Universalmania.com for $1215 + $15 shipping. Ordered it Sunday and came today, Wednesday.
I put what I could together today in the house. Pretty much ready to install the transducer and unit tomorrow if it doesnt snow.
Now I only have to figure out which of the two slots the SD card goes in and how to install the updates.

The card slot you use makes no difference. I suggest that you use the slot that gives you the best angle to grip the card for removal.
For the two units I have, I put the map software in the left slot and the blank card in the right slot. I can grab the right side card better than the left side card.
Your results may vary.
Congratulation on a good purchase.

Dont forget to reset to factory defaults before upgrading. You might want to use the search tab at the top of this forum to check for previous postings on installing new code. There are a number of hints, helps and cautions.

Installed it today without any problems. Imagine that? :o
Even got to put the boat in for an hour or so and test her out. I just used the electric and putted around the marine. Everything seemed to work well and I was impressed.
Looking foward to getting more experienced with it.
