I've read, "the only thing missing on the 5212 is buttons!" This isn't entirely true as their were some serious oversights when writing the firmware for this unit. After speaking with Garmin tech support several times (confirming the story I got across multiple people) it became evident that this item was rushed to market in time for the Holidays and they are playing catch up with the software on the unit. from Amazon.com I'm evaluating this chartplotter and I can't think of any reason not to buy one except one thing- price, ouch! from Wolfcamera.com I'm evaluating this chartplotter and I can't think of any reason not to buy one except one thing- price, ouch! from Photoalley.com I'm evaluating this chartplotter and I can't think of any reason not to buy one except one thing- price, ouch! from Cameraworld.com I'm evaluating this chartplotter and I can't think of any reason not to buy one except one thing- price, ouch! from Ritzcamera.com I've read, "the only thing missing on the 5212 is buttons!"
