Garmin GPSMAP 2010C

Anyone use one of these units? There is one being taken out of a boat and i have access to it for the right price. How are they to use??

The 2010c is a great unit. Operates just like the 3xxx and 4xxx series. Great as a chartplotter. Not so good as a sounder. Can integrate weather if so desired.

I have a 2010c and use it all the time. Friends are constantly trying to buy it from me.

If you can get a 2010 for $700 or less, I'd jump on it.

Great chartplotter, along with the 2200 and 3200 series the pinnacle of Garmin's MFDs. When they redesigned the system interface for the 4000 series the eliminated many of the buttons and made it a much more menu-submenu interface. Very clunky to navigate through, even to plot a route. Like GoodChance said above, people who have had these units are still trying to buy them for their new boats. If the price is right, take it.

The only downside to the unit is that it doesn't come with any accessories, cables, antennas, bracket or nav chip. How expensive and how hard is that stuff to get?

So i have the unit. All the cables werent available though, i need the power cable, mounting bracket, antenna, and a chart chip. anyone know where i should start looking or have anything laying about? Thanks!

I have a 2010C , 2006C & a 182
They are all new in 2003 and I would really be bummed if I had to replace them as chart plotters. Love the 2010 & 2006. The 182 I had from a previous boat and is just redundant I only turn it on for the numbers screen (speed,time of day ect...)
The sounder is nothing to write home about.

Yup, itll be waiting for me when i get home, just trying to find all the accessories i need to get it running when i get there. So far the chips are turning out to be very hard to find.
