Hyperbole.


Don't get why people on expensive boats would do this. I guess because it's just easier. If it's submerged rocks, I could see people not paying enough attention.

Maybe, one was rounded down and one was rounded up. Maybe, one's an average over a longer run (the sign is, very likely, over a longer run).

I was just talking about the size. The 1030 isn't much larger than the Karoo.

Anyway, the screen on the Karoo is pretty nice. It's also one reason the battery life isn't as good.

Another benefit to the battery life is not having to replace if/when it degrades.



The Karoo 2 is 60.3mm wide and 100.6mm tall. The 1030 is 58 x 114 mm. It's not much bigger.
