Title: Which system to purchase?
#42
Sorry, Barry, my apologies. It won't happen again.

I've been happy with my Raytheon Pathfinder radar/chartplotter, it's old but reliable. I thought it fun one time when I tracked an airplane flying by. The GPS that came with it gets a lock amazingly fast, and the CMAP charts on the card are pretty good. It's a pain to set up a route or enter waypoints, but no more than my old Garmin 48. As a side note, you can tell I don't upgrade my hardware very often Smile

I do wish I had a better bus connection to the unit. It's SeaTalk which is proprietary and doesn't talk to much else, but it does support NMEA which is nice. I'm going to link in my fishfinder to the radar so I'll get boat speed, depth, and temperature showing up on the display.

If I had to do it over again, I think I'd still get Raytheon. It's pricy but pretty good. I wish I could afford a color display, but the prices of those are astronomically high and I want to enjoy my boat, not worry about it!
