I have a dual screen experiment= al version still in the shipping box, unopened.  Does anyone know if th= ere are plans to make the Chelton talk to the new Garmins?  I=E2=80=99v= e searched online and haven=E2=80=99t been able to find an active Chelton us= er group or forum and I=E2=80=99m evaluating whether it=E2=80=99s worth inst= alling the Chelton system or has the technology evolved enough to make them o= utdated?  If anyone knows a more appropriate forum for this question, p= lease pass it on.

 

Thanks,
