Hi

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Garmin 7012 mfd, and what is your opinion?

I am looking to instal 2 of this in my new canyon 336 "La Mia"

Is the extra money worth it?
Is there a huge difference in speed vs the 5012?
Is the touch screen easy to use?

Thanks

I have the 7212, only difference is the pre loaded chart, on my Grady. I love it, extremely easy to use, touch screen is great, and it is extremely fast. I've heard great things about the 5000 series as well. I don't think you can go wrong with either. I bougt the 7000 because it's the latest and fastest Garmin has. Hopefully, as enhancements come out, I will be able to upgrade this unit for a long time.
