We have the 545s which we picked up last year. If the Garmin 4** would have been in stock, I likely would have jumped at the savings. Dear ol' Dad was a Navy navigator back in the 50's, so I grew learning how to do everything manually. While a great skill to have, and great memories with Dad, I love my little GPS.
And yeah, another vote for your areas Blue Charts G2 Vision card. Go-to routing is great.

Just FYI to anyone searching around and thinking about the 431s/531s model. Despite the manual showing screen shots of the options, the unit is NOT CANet compatible, so it will not connect to the garmin gfs-10 fuel sensor or any other NMEA 2000 network products.
Really bummed. Despite doing all the research I possibly could before purchasing, appears I still made poor choice.
