Garmin 8610.... xsv or not. If you have one that is broken and sitting around, let me know! Looking for a unit to use for testing.

Thank you!

Check out Riddle's Guide Service putting the GOE X'pand to work! Jeff is running a 19" unit tied to a 9213. I'll let the footage speak for itself. Very pleased with the antiglare, brightness, and clarity of this unit!

Message me if you are interested. Inventory on-hand.

Finally on the Garmin site after months of leaked photos and so forth. LVS42 is the HD variant most freshwater folks will lean towards.

Some important notes ... The GPSMAP units with dials (1222, 1242, 1022, etc.) are not listed as compatible. Most other units appear to be.

Sonar returns will never require 4K or super high resolution, but they may benefit from it. Think about the capability of what a sonar image can return vs the intent of HD. In other words, you may get sharper lines, brighter returns, less noise, and improved separation. Don't expect to see a fish's scales etc. I can elaborate on this in subsequent posts.

Price is fair in my opinion. I'll be interested how these hold up with integrated processing.

I have four 8616 replacement screens. If anyone needs theirs repaired due to cracks or other damage please message me.

I contacted a few on my list with no response. First come, first serve.
