Default Raymarine product horrors

The one feature that I really wanted in the Raymarine was the ability
to superimpose the radar image on top of the charts. This is a great
feature when approaching an unknown and crowded anchorage - seeing
the echoes of the other boats at anchor drawn over the depth contours
gives me lots of heads up about where to potentially anchor. The
guys at Vic Marine & Electric have shown me that you can get the same
feature with Nobeltec and a Furuno radar. I'll be investigating that
soon, and hope to have it on board before spring sets in.



Oh, the reason your analog radar scan blobs come out of sync with your
charts is the autorotation and auto-centering trying to keep up with
the GPS data causing all the jumping around in the fix. Turn it off
and it'll say sync'd until you figure out the GPS fix problem.



I see Canada has similar laws to our warranty laws:
