From the Garmin site: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/newsro...ets-largest-chartplotters-with-4k-resolution/
From Panbo: https://panbo.com/garmins-new-flagship-chart-plotters-the-gpsmap-9000-series-announced/
It's interesting that they will no longer have an internal GPS antenna and distribute the GPS 24xd with all new units. They will also not include and sonar modules like the current xxxxXSV units have.
So now if your going to upgrade from an XSV device you now need to also purchase a sonar module as well. Which can be another $700-1000 just to get back to where you were.
Looks like a real nice plotter though, much higher screen resolution.
