already is . navico are running out their non touch models now and just had a "up to" 1000 dollar price drop.
simrad and lowrance playing leapfrog still.
hmmm hearing similar things from garmin so... who knows
A little bird in the US has let the cat out of the bag:
Lowrance HDS news coming out on November 17th with price reductions as well.
1. Gen 3 releases in December
2. New units will be both keypad and touch
3. Chirp built in
4. Wifi 6. Bluetooth
5. Faster processors
Sounds good to me! I expect there will be some great run-out deals aroind on the current models too.
Note to self: Don't argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience....

I hope that Garmin introduce a touch version of the 551s.
Remember to always log on before heading offshore.
i wouldnt casey. its a brilliant unit!!
see its kinda like this
navico work on a 12month cycle..give or take. where ever 12 months either a new model or major upgrade,addon is released... and thats good. in the sense that when you buy that system its fresh and new. also means its obsolete pretty quick sticks.
garmin work on a 3 year cycle, where every 3 years a new model is released "ish" so when they have a model out on the shelves they have to design it to compete not only with whats for sale now but what is likley to be available in 3 years time. as a result. the current gen of gpsmap series units are crazy packed full of goodness "interms of processing speed and features"
so........if you have some clams that you need to unload and you want a very good 7" system. the 751 is tip top
