Recently upgraded to a garmin 3006 chartplotter/sonar/GPS and have had
an issue with what appears to be fog or condensation in the display
lens. Just got the second unit back from Garmin, the first one was
swapped out. The unit is less than 6 months old. Been chatting with
local WM guy and understand this to be a faily widely known problem.

The fixed unit goes back in today, but I'm already thinking of upgrading
to the 3206 if this one has the same problem.

thanx in advance!


Don't know about that particular unit, but what Garmin products I've
had, I've been happy with them.

in general terms, i have been happy with them for years. just seems this
latest unit has problems. if this repaired unit displays the same
problems, i am planning to push for a refund or at least credit towards
purchase of newer model. last resort is to pull all the garmin stuff out
and go with a different manufacturer. i just hope it does not come to
that, i'd rather actually go boating instead...
