Garmin 178C Sounder & Fish Finder

Looking for a blue chart data card for the victoria/vancouver island coastal area. This is discontinued unit. Any suggestion on where to look or hunt for one?

178C is nice sounder! I liked it so much, I had two of them!

I have the (CA500L), I can't find the (CA501L), or the CA002R)? But, I do have the (MUS023R). They are Jan04 editions.

You can still buy the charts, can you not?

Thanks, Charlie. Will give this a try. Went out today to shake things down and all was great. Sounder worked fine, but do need the charts.

Try GPS City out of Calgary.

Apparently you can get a refundable software (chip) update for the Garmin 178C so you can up grade the blue chart from 2004. May try this.

Charlie, how do I get a hold of you to take you up on your offer?

Just PM me with what you are thinking... and, an offer?
