It seems that a large number of backorders for different marine items are starting to ship. Raymarine is now shipping their new Quantum Radars, Garmin is shipping their redesigned transducers and their GCV-10 black box module so life is good here at The GPS Store filling customer backorders. If you have been waiting to order any of these products give us a call if we do not have it yet we can give you a real estimate as to when you should expect it. I know there have been questions about the version of software that we are shipping in our units and I can assure everyone that we are shipping the latest that our manufactures are sending. Often there is a firmware update to a marine unit that is available before all of the inventory from that same manufacture is sold. Usually there isn’t an issue updating firmware either by downloading to an SD/micro SD card or on a number of new plotters via WiFi but you do have to be near a wireless internet connection. This is my Friday so I will be back to write to you on Monday. Have a great weekend.
