Garmin quickdraw forum5/2/2024 I find the buttons to be more usable, especially on the run. Don't get caught up in touch screen capabilities. I would find a discontinued model and use the money you save to increase the display size. What are you looking to do with it? What type of fishing? Are there any other electronics you may want to network with it in the future? What areas do you fish most? Do you want DI/SI? I'll take a larger display over touchscreen any day of the week!!! I prefer knobs and buttons 80% of the time. My HB has both, my GO7 is touchscreen only. It also talks to my Ulterra and allows me to do some pretty cool things with the trolling motor. The Simrad and thru hull came rigged on the boat, I chose the Solix because it seemed to have the best DI/SI due to the 1kHz capability. On plane I use my Simrad for 2D and my Solix as my chartplotter, off plane I am using my Solix for SI/DI and Simrad for Chart or 2D. I have CMAP in my Simrad and Navionics chips for my HB. ![]() I think the GO series by SIMRAD comes with a free CMAP card? That saves you ~$100-150. ![]() Look at the lakes you fish and the bathymetry coverage for the various cards.you may find you only have coverage with one provider or another. If you have a map chip preference, or already own any map cards, that may factor into your preference. I have a Simrad GO7 (XSE/R)(thru hull ducer) and a Humminbird SOLIX 10 (DI/SI+) and can't say a bad thing about either. They are all good! Seems each of the systems has something it does better than the others.
