The benefit of quick switching between different maps is clear. Though, for somebody paddling mostly Puget Sound, and using only a Blue Chart, (or switching to other uploaded maps no more than once a month, this will not be an issue. And week signal due to tree canopy doesn't seem to be an issue for most of kayakers, eh? But under overcast sky (where I didn't notice much weakening even in older Legend), but if X is really capturing the signal much faster than non-X in such a weather, - then yes, worth extra bucks. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
