I specifically stated that "When I was checking on this...." I dont know what
the situation is now, but when I bought, you had to pay extra to get those items
from Garmin. If theyve changed that policy now, great! Im not even saying
that if the policy has not changed that you should buy Lowrance. Just make sure
you understand what you are going to be getting for your money. Sometimes its
not obvious.
