want to replace my lms 480 in dash gps with a color gps that is the same size as the 480 and i want to stay with lowrance so i dont have to change any of the wiring or the antennae. was thinking about a 520c or a 525c. dont know if these units are the same size as the 480 or not and was wondering if there is anyone out there running these units and what they think of them.

The 520C is the same size as your LMS480. The GPS reciever (antenna) is different. The 480 uses a LGC-2000 and the 520 uses a LGC- 3000. The 525C is a dual feq. transducer unit for salt water. The 522C is the same as a 520C except the gps reciever (antenna) is built into the unit. They have been very good units…..Sherm

thanx sherm. i guess if i went with the 520c all i would have to do is swap out the 2000 with the 3000 and all the wiring and the transducer can stay in the boat? robert

Nope…theyre the same unit just with different plugs and you can get an adapter that will connect a new red-plugged 520 to an older blue-plugged NMEA 2000 network and LGC-2000. Save the $ and dont rebuy the cabling and antenna. Deke[font=&QUOT]Deke[/font]
