seems like an interesting little unit

but I can't see anywhere that it is or isn't waas enabled

[woodro]

no but ive heard many good things about the unit. Should help a lot while navigating to your favorite spots then helping you locate the underwater structures

Hi woodro,

 

I don't have experience with the 250, but I have a 500 a they're a wonderful unit. Besides being able to plug destinations in - or simply find on the map and it tells you every turn ... tons of other info like lodging, gas, restaurants ... kinda neat, especially when you travel alone a lot like I do.

OK - so here is the scoop - this is a new one in the series and they missed something in the program. This unit is the only one of this series that supports both road and marine. So I got the Navtronics Easter Great lakes 901G that covers all of

 

Ontario, Erie, Quine, Trent, Rideau, Georgian and so on - lots of good lakes in Ontario also

 

 

But the chip is huge!!! - with all depth info, structure underwater, marinas, bouys etc. - so being so large, they were to program a Pull Down menu by location to show what body of water you wanted insteasd of loading all.

 

And there will not be a download fix until the end of January - good thing it is not boating season!!

 

Will keep you all posted
