Need advise on the best chartplotter replacement for the Garmin 5208 on my Regal 35SC. Heading down the ICW in 3 weeks and need current maps. I have currently running G2 Vision charts from 2016. Unfortunately Garmin has stopped supporting the 5208. i am uncomfortable traveling 1100 miles with Apps like Aqua. I am considering buying a Garmin 8610 or 8612 with G3 Vision and using Aqua or Garmin Active Captain as a backup. Not sure the 8000 series plotters will fit though and have no time for mistakes. Would appreciate input from anyone that has already been through the upgrade process.

Have you looked at Garmin 1042xsv or 1242xsv?
1242 is what’s installed on the 2020 38GC/XO
I’ve been researching that unit as well and it seems really good. The 8000 series I think it the top of the line but nut sure you would need all the extra capabilities. I called Garmin last week asking about the 1242 compared to the 7612 and it’s pretty much replacing it.
