There are many chart plotter with GPS function now. We may also in our cars and on some new phones, but (the argument) are for another article. Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, Sitex, Hummingbird … the list could go on forever. plotter, which is the best buy for the dollar? It is not easy to answer, as you might think. As you may know, I am an experienced sailor on board, and I live my boat. The drive used for some time and have differentdifferent plotters. Each of my boat is a plotter or I added.
When I cruise in the Caribbean, every ship that had hired bare boated several systems. I used a variety of products. I wanted to benefit only the beginning of this article. So, Captain Steve, who was the best? As I said, it is not easy to answer. Each plotter, that I have used, purchased or rented, has different qualities that I like and many of themare questions that I did not like. Of course, any preferences boat manufacturer. Hunter Marine, and some other manufacturers use Boot Raymarine products. Still other manufacturers use other products. This means that producers who use Raymarine know something I do not? I am often asked me about it. Save as holder of a Marine Electronics, is the only thing that I absolutely know that "volume = saved dollars."
When a writer like Hunter Navy buys 1000Raymarine E-80 PLUS the rest of the power accessories Raymarine plotter, as the depth, the rescue of the wind, autopilot, and all objects associated with them much of what you and I want to save me-money. Raymarine seems to be the best when it comes to buying volume. But the volume of sales is not the only factor to determine "who is the best." If so, it would be every where only products Raymarine. What other factors are the factors to determine the best plotter?Let's talk about here because you are really the meat, which are a plotter "our favorite. First we talk about clarity and readability of the display is daylight. Producers major competitors in this sector since the introduction of a color display and plotter think that there is no real clear winner in this category.
Garmin has just introduced a touch screen and I am sure that others will follow with hopefully better version. I boughtRaymarine C70 chartplotter one a few years ago because I thought it was the best product for the dollar at this time. I would have replaced the screen within 1 year. Salt water and fingerprint damage the screen. I understand that improved today. What about legibility and accuracy table? These are important factors. I have a Simrad on a charter. Changing chip and clarity were good and easy. Raymarine and Furuno or Navionics charts using both NT or CMapGold or something else. Easy to use, for most, but inconvenient if you're on the road to cross, and provided a dead zone in the table and have to move fast — you have the graphics chip is available immediately available after the change.
Garmin has built in the standings on a large part of their chart-present. Have pre-installed "world map". Nice, are not here to change the chip. However, if you want full performance of the 4,200 new and 520 0-series, you're a card with a visionparticular area. However, for me the most important factor for my purchase of a re-write color plotter, speed. When I switch from one screen to another, it takes 5 more minutes for the chart in its entirety? I had, as I said in my last article, a plotter Garmin 162 on my current boat of the day when I bought it. It 'was a very accurate grayscale chartplotter with built-in graphics. The big problem for me was … took forever to re-write until theGraph, if the zoom function. I would have obtained from the moment the table again lost members.
So, it was done according to my research, I bought a new Garmin 4208 Color Chartplotter. If the above criteria? E 'for me and that is the most important thing after all. ME! I like to do? If I do, then it is the best there is.
