I give a couple call to Garmin and learn that any model will work with my unbalanced ram but I need to purchase, install and adjust a unbalanced valve kit to the 1.2 and 2 L pump, the 1L is plug and play, so that is what I got. I got the starter kit that includes pump, ECU, CCU, and nema 2k starter kit, no shadow drive or GHC and so far I’m not regretting it.
I installed it a couple weeks ago and it was pretty painless, I was out this weekend and got to set it up and give it a try. All I can say is wow, I’m loving it.

You should be able to turn the auto pilot data bar at the bottom of the screen so you don't have to give up half of your display.

Thanks, not that I'm unhappy on how it is now but that will be nice, I know I still have a lot to learn.
I did the basic heading hold but was also able to create a track using auto guidance and have the autopilot follow it, it works pretty good. the only thing that I was not too keen on, and I'm sure I will find a work around, is that if you go off course while following a track for whatever reason, once you resume follow track, the auto pilot try to go back to the track as fast as possible and will make a sharp turn right away. Other then that, it work pretty smooth and I'm very happy with it. |

Bar looks like this.
I usually manual steer back to the course manually and then turn it back on. |

jkidd, it looks like the bar is a feature available in the GPSMAP serie, not available in the echoMAP serie. I did play with it some more and was able to adjust the size of each split screen and it helps some. I'll keep fine tuning it over time but like I said before, I'm happy the way it is now.
