Although I don't own one, I work at Bass Pro in Clarksville, IN, and get a lot of feedback on the units. Even though I don't prefer the HDS systems, they seem to be doing much better than last year. We've been selling a lot more, no complaints on water damage any more, and they have fixed a lot of the bugs in the software that were causing problems when running Navionics cards. However, I still get sporadic complaints on the customer service dept., and are still having issues running the Navionics Platinum charts (i.e., sluggish processing, occasional lock-ups), but nothing too serious. Most people who I've heard feedback from lately as far as the actual usage of the units say they love them, except for these few minor complaints on occasion.
