Bill - I'm thinking about going down that same path and interested in what you learn about B&G and Garmin chartplotters. Both have wireless capability with ipad control, which is very attractive. It'd be ideal to play with each for a while. My only experience with B&G is adding a Triton Display on my Garmin network (replaced 1 of 3 Garmin GMIs). Seamless integration, very good functionality and easy to use once you learn the quirks.
I also have a Raymarine autopilot w/display on the network. Marginal at best. Good luck and stay in touch on this. -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Bill Coleman via CnC-List Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 10:19 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Latest Chartplotters I was wondering if anyone on the list has, or has had occasion to use one of the new Chartplotters by B&G or Garmin with the Laylines, compass rose, etc, that look like the overlays on the latest Americas cup. Particularly the Zeus Touch T8, now on sale for $807 I still have an RC-80 Raymarine which works fine, but all these new features, plus many, many more make my knees go weak. Any Comments? Another observation, I notice that Defender has nothing from Garmin anymore. I wonder if they pulled their plug for not playing by the rules and selling below their "suggested" prices. ?
