Good to hear the feedback -- it looks like for the 'Regions' version, the charts come pre-loaded so it's just plug and play, but with the standard Nav+ you can download all of the US. Also, the sync feature seems really cool, I just read up on it a little but it seems cool if I spend some time...

Welcome to the boating world! I think the two biggest things for beginners is time on the water and taking a basic navigation class. I know you mentioned in your intro post that you're only at the consideration stage for buying but getting on boats with friends or with your dad and seeing thins...
