CHIRP- Your expertise and opinions wanted.

[slothman]

Admit: this is a repost from the general discussions forum. I'm just looking for lots of opinions and I know some of you hang out only on the individual lake forums. Walleye guys- I'm sure some of you know your electronics.

 

I am really thinking of pulling the trigger on a new Garmin echomap 73sv. I can buy the old model for significantly less than the chirp model. My question to all you electronics gurus: How important is chirp? How much of a difference does it make?

 

I'm really looking forward to using my unit to locate fish and structure. I just got my first boat (used) and am very excited to join a bass club and do some minor local tournament fishing.

 

i know some of you are really knowledgeable about this and I would love to hear from you. I don't take large purchases lightly and could really use some guidance. 

Thanks.
