hey all, I was looking at getting a garmin 740 they are being discontinued. anyone hear anything good bad or ugly? The only thing I have heard was about the magnets in the chip door throwing off the compass on the boat. don’t see a major problem if there’s a track line in the unit to follow and the compass in the unit works. am I wrong?
or if anyone has a preference on any other brand? already have outdated gps and small fishfinder looking to upgrade for around 1k?
I can’t imagine that a magnet that size can interfere very much.

The 740s is asolid machine. Pair it with a p66 or better.
