Love my 93SV but me too on the purchase....I wonder how much touchscreen..full "pinch and zoom"? The WIFI is what I really wanted...

Really nice unit for 849 w out transducer ...
What can you program the 4 favorite buttons to do?
I know on my 93sv's I would like quicker access to clearing my tracks.

Are the EchoMap Plus models on the street already?

When you are on a page you want to save to favorites you simply hold down one of the favorite buttons and you will be able to access that page, no matter where you are in the menu's, by pressing that button. On my unit I have SideVu, map, ClearVu/2d, and 2d saved to the four buttons.

When you hit that favorite button, let's say from 2d to SideVu, does it start a new sideview scan or did it scan (when configured) in the background all the while the 2d is running?
Pretty sure it starts new. Can't really say I've paid attention to that.

The cradle is different. One of them the pins go 4 4 10 2 2 2. The other one goes 2 2 2 10 4 4.

What about waypoints? I don't have to share transducers across multiple head units, but it would be very beneficial to share waypoints. Does the Echomap Plus 73/93SV and/or CV have the same two wires to connect and would it share it's waypoints with the regular (non-plus version) echomap chirp 73SV?

Since the echoMAP Plus 7x/9x have a functional Ethernet-networking port, these specific units will share user data and sonar data via the Ethernet cable (not the High Speed Protocol provided by the wires on the PWR cable). Because of this, these 7x/9x Plus units will not share wpts with any of the older echoMAPs.
However, the echoMAP Plus 4x/6x products will continue to support this High Speed Serial connection to share waypoints since they don’t have Ethernet ports.

My 73 + has a 'power' port, NMEA 2000 port, Sonar port, and Panoptix port. I assume (I know probably shouldn't) the 93 + would be the same way.

Well....it's possible. If you connect a ethernet cable between them - yes. But you only have one ethernet port on each. So if you have a Panoptix transducer plugging into one, then there goes the sharing. At least that how I interpret what Todd said. He specifically said not through the power cable wires and since he also said "only though ethernet" I'm taking that to mean not through NMEA2000 also.
