Looking for feedback on a Garmin GPSMAP 720 chartplotter-gctid357862

[Guest]

I was looking at the Garmin 4208, I like the 8.4" screen, and the push button controlls. I don't like the $1700 I'd have to pay for it.

So now I'm looking at the 720. 7" screen, but it's touch screen, but it's $1300

I really don't want to go any smaller, these old eyes need a break.

Just looking for someone who has a 720, and see what they think of it.

Thanks,

Dutch

I have the 740S and love it. A larger screen would be nice but I just didn't have the space on my dash. With the 740 I can direct connect my Garmin radar and I also have a VHF which can recieve AIS info and display on the Garmin 740. The Garmin is connected to my boat's auto pilot and can drive the boat along whatever route I input.

The touch screen isn't an issue. It works well, although it works best when you're not bouncing along at 25 knts. LOL

I would like to know that too.

Sounds fishy to me. Like those California boat prices.

Bought it from a vender on amazon.
