This is one of those cases where, for many of us, simpler is better.
You don't need a hundred different functions. If you're underway, you should be keeping watch and steering, not constantly reprogramming the GPS to do the next whiz-bang thing on the menu. Electronics should help you run your boat, not lull you into a false sense that they are running it for you or distract you from the task. My two cents: pay some attention to the interface. A larger keypad with some space between the keys will make it easier to use underway. If you almost feel like you need to resort to using a stylus in the marine store, you will have no end of trouble trying to input data or commands with a fingertip when the boat is underway and bouncing around. |
