jsut ran across this and dont' ahve an ide what it is. i do know that
it has something with marine navigation, but i have no clue what it
does and i confess I'm not educated *or experienced enoughto know what
it does and what it's good for. all i see is that it's an award winner
of some sorts.


Wayne?


Harry's description is correct as far as it goes. * Simrad is claiming
a technology break through which allows higher resolution (more
detail) of fish and bottom contours. *We'll see. * Marine gadget hype
runs rampant this time of year. * :-)


OK, I thought that SIMRAD was initials for something like Radio
Detection And Ranging (r.a.d.a.r).

"Marine gadget hype runs rampant this time of year. :-)"

kinda like "Be the first kid on your block to own...?"
