I would like to hear what others have and their experience with them.
I would also like to hear whats available for software charts for Canada. It does not seem like there is much out there.

I picked up a 527 last year for my boat, brand new off of Ebay. I ended up getting it for roughly $200 less than anywhere else. I like it, the internal GPS sometimes has issues picking up a signal if I don't have the mount extended, but other than that its worked really well.
As for software charts, are you looking for the coast or inland lakes? Navionics offers some great charts for coastal waters but sadly the inland lakes are somewhat lacking (except for Ontario).
