Planned obsolescence. I see Garmin streamlining the Echo Map line right now. A whole new lineup in my opinion. I believe the longevity/support will be superior on the Ultras.The GPS Map line is a mess right now. There are many known networking/ compatibility issues and that’s a red flag for me. It’s very hard to figure out where they are going with the GPS Map lineup right now. I’m invested in the GPS Map lineup right now and in the market for another 12. My gut tells me the 12/10/9x2 line Is in jeopardy. Note that the new GPS Map Ultras only got the polarized screen but no UHD Transducer port. There is surely more stuff coming and it doesn’t seem likely Garmin would make a black box to accommodate the non UHD GPS Maps. I’m holding tight until the dust settles.
