I am not sure about the unit you speak of, but there is a much much cheaper way to get a good plotter. Buy any decent 10" tablet which has stand alone GPS (I use a Samsung galaxy tab) and then load the Navionics USA app which turns the tablet into a plotter. Buy a mount and if needed a waterproof case and bingo-you have a great plotter for less than $400 and you get a good tablet to boot. when i bought my Navionics app it was $ 49.00 and it includes all bodies of water in the US including the lake and it is very accurate.

just make sure if you do this you get a tablet which has the stand alone GPS, that way you do not use any data.

BTW for anyone interested you can also turn your cell phone into a 4" tablet by purchasing the navionics app for cell phones. $ 14.95 last time I checked.
