Doug, I am certain that both my 898 and 858 came with at least the 6.49 version...that being said....i want to go back to the 6.49 version on both units, but wanted to be able to still have ethernet GPS waypoint sharing and the casting rings. I don't have any ancillary equipment in my system.
I just wanted to have the best stable version with the best pics and seems like everyone concurs that the 6.49 version is...what's your opinion?
