I have had two different Raymarine GPS units that have used the Winni C-map chip. The C-map chart is pretty good and I have had no problems thought both units seem to be taking longer to synch on startup now (2-10 minutes). I also use GPS in the car and for Geocaching and have since gone to a new Garmin Quest 2 which I can use in the boat, car (with routing/turn voice commands), or handheld on when on foot for hiking. If Bizer holds to his plan to release a Garmin-compatible Winni map this year, I will have the best of all worlds in a single GPS unit....and all for under $600. I'm planning on getting a second suction-cup mount for use in the boat. And best of all, it fits in my pocket.
