Yes. I ended up buying my Furuno system on the strength of a
Practical Sailor report that evaluated all available 10 inch screens.
They thought Furuno had the best daytime visibility in direct
sunlight, and that all of the other feature differences between units
were more or less a dead heat in the final analysis.

We have not been disappointed and everyone else who has come aboard
always comments favorably.
