Anyone moved from the Garmin 73sv up to the 93sv? I have a 73sv (63sv before that) and only use it as a chart plotter as I don’t fish. My old @ss eyes aren’t getting any better and am thinking about upgrading to the 93sv which should be easier to read but I’m not sure if the bang is worth the buck. Thoughts ..read more
