too_tall 15 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Is that number large enough to seriously hurt Garmin? They are a very large company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,214 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 An info email was sent by Navico to their dealers about this today, saying they had been successful in the pursuit of this transgression.
