Ahhhhh...

However, there is not a product manufactured today that cannot fail in
sufficient numbers to keep many people employed fixing them.

It WILL happen, I am convinced of that.

To me, not very often, but when it does, I need a dealer/manufacturer
to stand behind the product.

Both Garmins and Magellans have required service around here, and one
Lowrance, (ours)

The response to our issue by Lowrance MORE than "met our
expectations"

So we are happy ....

IMHO, these postings are FAR too small a sample to draw any
reliability data from.....

YMMV

What I am getting from this is that Lowrance units do seem
to quit more often than Garmin.

Postings here may not be statistically signficant, but it does seem to
me that an awful lot of Lowrance owners have had their machines quit
after a short time of use.

They clearly offer more performance for a given amount of dollars,
though their top-end unit does not have as many features as the
top of the Garmin line. But are they too unreliable? My impression,
just from these postings, is yes.
