I don't know they are nice units, but I have a lorance 5200 chartploter and you can ajust the contrast so you can see it in the sun light I use my 5200 on the snowmobile in the winter when we are ice fishing for eyes on the sag. bay, is them units color or Black an white? the color is a lot easyier to see I think. Good luck with your choice:thumb:
