Thanks guys. Just ordered a Garmin 19x for $200 from the GPSshopppe, (did not
list the sim rad) being delivered to my hotel in Atlanta. Will be running this
with , 2014 raymarine ev-1/ p70 wheel pilot, i70 mf inst., acti sense ngt-1
n2k-usb gateway. openCPN as a chartplotter, or some other tablet-based
solution.
Dave.

Keep in mind, too, that most of these receivers use the same chipset. So the
GPS performance is going to be similar, if not identical, with fast 10Hz
updates and 32-channel, high-sensitivity receivers. Mostly be concerned about
physical characteristics; type of mount available, cable compatibility with
your existing infrastructure, and the ability to update software via a
compatible chartplotter, if possible. For the cable issue, I chose the Simrad
over the Lowrance, as it comes with a detachable, fully NMEA2k compliant cable
which is longer than the Lowrance?s (I believe attached) cable. And as far as
the current draw goes, anything under 100ma is negligible. The Simrad also
gives you the heading sensor, which the Garmin does not.
