I saw that right after I bought my 498 -- not sure the extra money is worth
it;
but it sure is cool -- definatley not worth buying a 2nd unit for the
added
features -- but if the price drops a fair amount; I'll take a 2nd look




I just finished installing one. I'll tell you what's cool .... is the 3D
displays of "below the waterline". You can be cruising along in a channel
and, depending on tide, it shows depth below your keel and any obstacles.

I'll let your know if it really works.
