Need advice on a GPS solution
I just bought a 12 year old C&C 37/40R and, along with the 1287 odd jobs that come along with used boats, I would like to install a GPS chart plotter. There are dozens of possible solutions straight out of the West Marine catalog but a friend highly recommended software on a laptop instead. He uses Nobletec and seems committed, but I thought I might ask a wider audience for recommendations / disrecommendations. Also, his setup involves parking the laptop on the chart table below, whereas I would like something visible from the helm. That would mean an extra screen that will stand up to salt water and running some wiring, but if charting software is better/cheaper/faster than what gets plugged into the integrated plotters, I'd like to know before I start. Any advice for a greenhorn? -- nfsnfs- http://www.hookandsinker.com - The Sportfishermen's choice for fishing news, over 500+ maps, over 7,000+ schematics, and even these newsgroups are available online! |
