Does anybody know likely release date here in Australia for 2115 models for Garmin Gps / Sounders?

Confidence.......the feeling you get before you fully understand the situation.
should see new echo models feb.. and then they will sort of stagger them untill may. so dont expect the 76xx for at least a month and a bit.
Do you know what the main difference will be?.......Originally Posted by chocolatemoose

yep.
so the 76xx series is more like a cut down 8000 series rather than a beefed up 7xx/8xx10xx series
so apples to apples
751xs =7" screen, series 1 software, 1 BNC video imput, single CHIRP. 600w down Vu capable.
7607xsv =7" screen. series 2 software, 1 composite video imput, dual chirp 1kw, built in side &down VU. GRID capable. wireless remote capable. faster. smarter better.
Any indication of likely prices
...............
I am in the market for a 7inch screen to use beside my hds5 i was thinking of getting a hds7 touch but after hearing about the 70dv was going that way but now the new models are coming out . Which way to go any advice would be appreiciated.
Cheers
the 70dv will still be around. and is still a good unit. in a lot of ways its better then the up and coming new echo series . which will be touch button only. as well as 5hrtz antenna only
the 70dv is a good unit by all accounts and is worth considering still.
Hi moose would you recommend the 70dv over the hds7 .
Cheers
hmmmm. maybe. the hds7 is fairly modular and can allow for a few more add ons down the track if thats something you want to keep in mind.otherwise yeah the echomap70dv is a stella unit.
Thanks moose i have a hds5 gen 1 already which i want to use for a gps and the new 1 as a sounder so is it better to have a hds7 so they can run together off 1 transducer. Can they be networked together .
Cheers
Hi Chockolatemoose Thanks for the info on the larger models ..do you have any details for the EchoMap 50DV ?? I think I would like the 70 DV but I have a space problem on my panel and I dont think it will fit.
Best regards
yeah they can bert.
hi zigzag
the 50dv and 70dv are being made redundant soon "kinda sad because the touch screen 70dv was a great unit and the replacement unit will be button only.. sure it will have side imaging. but will only have a 5htz antenna instead of a 10hrtz and no more touch screen. im going to stock up on the 70dv before they are discontinued"
what details would you like though?
Hi Chocolatemoose .. thanks for the info ... I have a navman Trackfish 6507 flush mounted in my dash and it has spat the dummy. I only have 205mm space between my dials so the 50dv sounded like a good replacement.
I could mount the 70 dv on its stand but would then have to find a way to fill in the space left by the Navman. Problems ! Prob.........
Best regards
