Garmin 550S sounder

Hey guys, I have a Garmin 550s sounder. I was looking to purchase the preloaded g2 charts, I was interested in the 3d underwater maps.

Has anyone had any experience with this product? I was wondering if it was worth spending the money, and does it cover all of Australias coast and inlets.

My local area is Narooma NSW, Tuross river & lake, Clyde River Batemans Bay and Bermagui. If anyone has this software it would be great if you could check these areas and let me know if these areas are covered.

Cheers.

HI Wazz I do have the G2 software It's ok nothing to complain about but I have bought a section and not the entire map of Australia If you go to the garmin site it will show you the sections that you can buy. I really bought it so that I can have a detailed image of whats under the water example reefs etc but certain places that I went to I did not get the detail I was expecting. But on the whole I'm happy with it.

Cheers

Thanks Doeado, I would also only need a section,and the underwater stuff is what I'm interested in. I went to the Garmin website first and it only shows one product, the G2 software, it doesnt mention seperate sections. Thanks for the info though, I'll keep researching.
