When I bought our boat last fall there were brand new speed/depth/wind instruments installed (very poorly and they barely worked but there they were) So I struggled with what to do about a plotter. I considered Ipad, SmartPhone, Windows Tablet, In the end I went with a raymarine MFD/Radar

You Ray haters kill me... just kidding! But sometimes it pays to read the manual before you buy, and they are all available online these days. That Garmin thing is a cool solution, I like it. The Navico (B) version doesn't seem to be available anywhere, so that may have been a possible

Raymarine is not so bad. When the day comes that you buy a device, which is not from Raymarine, but you are required to use a Raymarine MFD to upgrade the software or even use the device, then you’ll feel like a Mac(or Linux) user. As a non-Microsoft software user, I feel your pain.But

This is absolutely nothing new at all! I was a Raytheon dealer back in the day and they were always pulling crap like this. Their XX radar series was supposed to transfer a target from radar to chart plotter (back when this was a brand new idea). I sold a radar and plotter with this as a

Other vendors don't take this approach? Sure they do. I've got B Triton displays - can't do any updating on them without a B MFD. Same is true with all that I'm aware of. And I'd love to buy a Maretron ultrasonic tank level sender, it is N2K - but to calibrate it I also have to buy one of
