Hi Richard,
We do mostly day sailing from up on the Hudson down the NJ coast - no serious
cruising or offshore stuff. FWIW... I love my little Lowrance unit. I was
originally drawn to the Lowrance name because my grandfather had Lowrance
navigation equipment in his old Piper Dakota.

The 276c remains one of the most useful units Garmin ever produced. I
still use mine, but mostly on the screen showing estimated arrivals, SOG
etc. In other words, I use it as a trip computer. One thing about these
units is that at some point, the internal button battery wears out and
the unit
This will get you started:

We love our old Garmin 276C. It is time, however, to upgrade. Should
we upgrade our BlueCharts? If so how? Or should we get a new
276C? Heck, I still use my Garmin 128. Buddy even gave me a spare 128
couple months ago. Just like the way it handles routes and waypoint
arrival times. It often runs the boat. I have a Standard Horizon CP190i
at the helm for looking at AIS targets, depths, etc.

Touching on what Bill just said… I'm generally a fan of fixing things on
the boat rather than replacing them, but my exception is electronics. The
technology advances and the prices come down so fast that it's normally
smarter to just replace.

We have the Raymarine ST-60s on the boat already.
We sail NYC to Maine.
