Default Garmin 3210

Anyone have any good or bad experience with the 3210? How detailed are the preloaded charts?
Thinking about getting one.

Its preloaded with the full set of Bluecharts, which are pretty good, and can be very inexpensively updated. The 3210 is the peak of the first generation of Garmin Multifunction Displays.

Not only is the unit great, but Garmin has the greatest customer support and satisfaction (from my experience).

Price dropped at midnight.

The marine electronics industry is full of people who beat the crap out of each other, even the big supply companies. My supplier had given me a discounted price, another supplier than dropped the price below my supplier after I had responded to many potential customers including you 49erJim. Now that my supplier has responded to the drop I have posted it on my site. That is the price and it is final as far as I am being told.

On another, anyone who purchased units at yesterdays price will be getting them at the new price.


Sorry to have been trying to be the good guy and save people some money.

No, the GPS 17 antenna is in the box. That is another thing that Garmin does right. Even thought they are multi function displays they are still GPS units right out of the box. Most other MFG's. make you buy an antenna

I am sorry as I did not mean to imply that you were ripping anyone off, I was just stating facts as of the same day quotes from the same company? I wanted to see if anyone had any info on this. The last thing I want to do is buy something from someone and on the same day find out that it was selling for over $100 dollars less from the same company on their web site. I hope you and others understand this, I think your price on both units is a very good deal, so both prices would have been great as of yesterday, today the lower price is even better. Thanks for the good deal. I am sorry for my post.
