Thanks for your thoughts. As a software developer and systems
architect, I would agree with your observation in most instances.
However, I believe that a laptop running Fugawi, Maptech or Nobeltec,
and connected to a USB GPS - and you could even throw in a Furuno
radar, is far less expensive - and in my experience of 6 years sailing
on the west side of Vancouver Island, far more reliable.

One bad motherboard on my E120 brought the entire radar & navigation
system OFF my boat for 8 weeks. I can carry 3 redundant laptops for
less than 1/4 of the cost of the E120 alone.


If your looking for a GOOD Marine Electronic TECH, in Seattle area,
I would suggest Don Hollingsworth Sr. or Jr. at G & L Marine Radio.


Awesome, and thanks for the reference. Subsequent to purchasing and
installing my E120, I've also found the guys at Victoria Marine &
Electric (BC) really know their stuff.
