If you are dealing with WM in Cape Coral, I have found them to be very
helpful in resolving product issues. Garmin has lots of satisfied
customers.

That said, I have a Furuno Navnet system on my flybridge which I
bought mail order from pyacht.com. It has been flawless so far after
more than a year of being exposed to the elements and 6,000 miles of
cruising.

That's been my experience also.

There have been some threads on THT recently discussing Garmin display
issues. Apparently it's a very widespread problem. As a last resort the
Garmin faithful have recommended going to Purple Cow for a protective film
for the display. That seems to solve the problem, at least in the near
term.

If I was replacing I'd consider a Lowrance. Seems that a much better screen
resolution is available for a lot less $$$??
