I was really hoping to have it for navigation in poor visibility. I am going to get Tacktick instruments for the boat I am buying and the kit they sell comes with a digital multifunction display and an analog display for wind info. If worse comes to worst, I can just use it in my car.
Incidentally I was told by a manufacturer of marine LCD displays that the reason that they have not produced more touch sensetive displays is that there is apparently an issue with fish guts adversey affecting the thin film that most touch screen displays use. It seems that the guts on fisermens' hands eat away at the plastic film... Go figure.
