    Just got done playing around with the Gen 3 Solix 12. Faster for sure it seems all around....like it was said above....maps zoom in, out and scrolling around is very fast and precise. Touch is very quick as well.

    I would guess BPS has a contract and a date for them to have for their spring sales. They have a bit more leverage from buying thousands of units. Usually large manufacturers sell direct as a small part of their income. Most now have an outside company to handle that job for them. I have found some online stores more responsive to my needs than the manufacturer. JMO Bob

    Just got my new vexus and I had them put a g3 solix on the dash. I haven’t had it on the water but boy does this thing make noise sounds like a refrigerator running on my dash any body else notice that? I have g2 on the bow with a live 16 and a live 12 on the dash and none of them make noise

    It has a fan inside, but barely noticeable.

    Is that inside info? I had not heard that before. A little cooler would not hurt. Probably the duel processor is the reason. I would guess it would be less noisy out on the water than in the garage. Bob

    I don't hear much---sounds like a small fan---very quiet---I wouldn't worry too much about it.
