    Can Someone (Moose) pls hlep explain this about Garmin 75SV's

    Hello!!

    BCF is doing a sale on two garmin sounders and I can for the life of me NOT make out why the one which is seemingly better, cheaper...good thing I suppose..but I would rather think I am missing something...

    Garmin EchoMap CHIRP 75SV Combo Fish Finder- $1399
    https://www.bcf.com.au/p/garmin-echo...bo/403888.html
    - NO TOUCH

    Garmin EchoMap Plus 75SV Combo Fish Finder - $1,199
    https://www.bcf.com.au/p/garmin-echo...er/551395.html
    -HAS TOUCH
    -I THOUGHT CHIRP WAS THE DIFFERENCE BUT IN THE DESCRIPTION, THIS ONE HAS CHIRP AS WELL

    So the one without touch is dearer...how is that?

    Hey Moose, btw thanks for the advice when I dropped by your shop the other day, I appreciate the honest advice.

    Cheers,
    John

    Nmea2000 as a start. I would check garmins site as BCF could have their add incorrect.

    could be a promo, i was going to buy the Garmin striker 7sv at $799 but they have just listed the garmin striker plus 7sv for the price of $650, exactly the same but the "plus" has a extra feature where it can map bottom contours on the go making your own maps of uncharted waterways.... both have chirp and all the other bells and whistles... etc etc .

    Are you really asking Moose to help you decide which one to buy from BCF?

    That is the honesty I am referring to. He pointed me in a direction...the man does some great things and seemingly has his hands full with awesome installs...

    The ol pick the brains of a specialist purchase from a mass merchant. Perhaps a couple of longnecks for the advice eh.

    I dont have giraffes!! Haha...off course I would...I really dont think I am stepping out of line here asking him for advice, I went to his shop with a genuine intention of getting a quote for the an install and a unit. He recommended a good guy to install for less than what he would do it for. You really can't ask for more....

    So I guess milking him for more advice...yep that would deserve a few beers!!

    Not too sure what all this negativity is about...I am simply asking for some one to help me explain why on earth BCF is selling what seems to be a dated product for more than what appears to be a newer and better model one.

    Btw I ended up buying the Garmin EchoMap Plus 75SV as it truly appears to be the better version and cheaper, I did not buy it from BCF btw. It also happens to be the one that Moose guided me towards when I visited his shop and he outright recommended that I buy and install it elsewhere. I totally appreciate that he did not just take my money and that is why I thanked him for his honest advice.

    jobs done, you bought what you where inquiring about. personally i think it is just as good as some more expensive units and brands.
