  1. Excuse-me but you're wrong about the tracking. I use it multiple of times and it's an excellent tracking. It's a agreement between USPS and Canada Post. I kne I'm now retire but it was one of the project that my team implemented with the USPS guys and it's the same for a shipper that sent a package from Canada to US.

     

    If I think about this the next time I buy something in the US I will get screen shot of my tracking and showed you. The last thing that I sold on this site was Lowrance 12" Gen2 sent by Canada Post with tracking to a buyer in the state if I remember it was in New-Jersey.

     

    Merry Christmas!

  2. As for the cost if the buyer is willing to pay it's no problem and for my part I don't find that too expensive if you choose the regular shipping and you add the confirmation (tracking) and I can tell you since the last 2 years the tracking with USPS even in Canada the tracking is excellent.

     

    With Fedex and UPS it's a lot more costly and on top, the receiver has to pay the broekage fees and the minimum is $50. For me it's USPS with confirmation or nothing. Shipping has become expensive even for our own country; even if the price of gazoline went down the cies forgot to lower the shipping cost.

  3. I don't understand why a seller won't ship to Canada! There is millions of parcels that are ship to Canada every year. I buy and sale fom both countries and I have no problem. If the buyer want's to pay for the shipping what's the problem?

  4. To save on duties and shipping you ask the seller to ship with USPS and in most of the time the parcel just go through the customs without any charge.

     

    As for the exhange unfortunatly there is no way to escape this; I know very well I own a camp upstate NY and I'm a Canadian; so everything is costing me +30%

     

    They this this to promote the Canadian exportation but listning to the news this morning our exportation is not doing well at all. Since the free trade with Mexico the uS industries save more buying and manufaturing in that country then buying from us.

     

    Good time for a US citizen to buy Canadian boat in Canada; no tx, no duties an you save 30%. Princecraft is a excellent example; you can compare a Princecraft to a Lund anytime. I know because I use to own a Princecraft and a Lund. I'm going back to Princecraft.

  5. One thing to consider with Navionics is the fact they always improving with people that log with their units as I do. I run a Lowrance Gen3 and it's always link with my Navionics Boating app on my old IPhone that I use only for that; so once at home I connect my IPhone to my home wifi and sent my daily logs to improve the mapping and some of my friends are also doing the same so it become a community work improvement.

     

    The other thing with Navionics you can see what you get by looking at the webapp in youre living room, so you can make a smart decision. ILink works only if it's a HD lake I think? LO is a HD?

     

    For certain bodie of water both are good maps but if you ever decide to buy another brand of sonar-gps the Lakemaster won't work; with the Navionics the same card can be use in a Lowrance and a HB

  6. There is 2 choices: Navionics+ pre-loaded that include the US & Canadian waters without the sonarchart. If you want it you have to download it for the region or water you fish. If the water you fish is cover on the regional Platinium then you can get the Platinium that offer sonarchart already on the card.

     

    I'm including some links that you should take a look to get a better view of what you should get. On the webapp when you activate the blue icon on the bottom left on the page that will give you a view of sonarchar (it's 1ft contour lines instead of 3'ft) very useful for fishing.
